Counselling for women through life changes

Welcome, I’m Belinda

If you’re navigating a life transition and feeling overwhelmed, you’re in the right place. I offer counselling for women through life changes related to career, parenting, relationships, identity, and migration.

Transitions don’t just shift our outer world, they stir things deep within us. Old patterns and unresolved feelings can surface, often when we least expect it. Giving yourself the space to slow down and feel supported by someone in your corner can be a powerful act of care.

My approach is informed by psychological theory, with a humanistic and psychodynamic foundation. I bring over 17 years of experience in the wellbeing field, a commitment to anti-oppressive practice, and extensive lived experience.

I am an accredited member of the NCPS and offer sessions online across the UK and in person in Belfast. I invite you to reach out when you feel ready.

What to Expect from Counselling

As someone who has been through many significant life transitions, I understand that it can be difficult to even know where to start when it feels like everything is changing. In our sessions you can expect a safe, empathetic, and confidential space where we can begin to explore what’s going on for you. I approach our work with gentle curiosity, allowing you to explore your challenges at your own pace. Some of the things you can expect from our work together are:

Clarity and direction:
As we sit with the questions and the shifting landscape of your life, clarity may begin to emerge, guiding you towards your next steps with more trust in yourself.

Increased confidence:
As we explore the roots of self-doubt, a steadier sense of self starts to develop. A quiet confidence growing from within, even in the midst of uncertainty.

Emotional support and understanding:
You’ll be held in a space where your feelings are welcomed. Where your story can unfold at its own pace, and you can feel deeply seen, gently understood, and no longer alone in what you carry.

Resilience and a return to self:
Like the slow turning of seasons, you may come to recognize familiar parts of yourself in new ways. Resilient, evolving, and still deeply you.

Growth is a process – sometimes difficult – ALWAYS worth it.
