Hi, I am Bel. Getting therapy to heal requires a therapist who understands not just the techniques but the profound impact of personal experience. You are the expert of you, and I can help you heal by providing structure, analysis, and techniques guided by your inner wisdom (which I help you get more connected to). I guide you when you need leadership and hold space for you to safely explore what is within. I work specifically to your needs, ensuring you feel heard, supported, and empowered. I am a very dedicated therapist who brings my care, knowledge, and wisdom to our sessions.
I have worked in community wellbeing for many years. I have had a diverse and unusual life, and my transformative experiences have shaped my therapeutic approach profoundly, instilling in me profound empathy, compassion, and resilience that I share with you to help you transmute your pain and harmful patterns into rich living. Through my own life's challenges, I've come to deeply understand the transformative power of therapy. I have been inspired and enlivened by witnessing the resilience of individuals overcoming adversity, and this is what makes me love my job.
If you're ready to heal and grow personally, I invite you to email me now at belfin(at)gmail.com.
I work with: Adults – all men and women, young people (over 13), neurodivergent, queer, CALD communities, new (or soon to be) mums and dads. I work with or without a diagnosis.
My special interests are: All relationships – workplace, friendships, romantic, parental, adult-child of parents, situationships… the whole spectrum. I have a keen interest in joy after trauma, life after loss, and personally love nature as a healing resource. What is a source of joy and healing for you?
Also, I love to work with stress management or prevention, and its ‘bedfellows’ compassion and resilience. I work with childhood trauma, abuse and neglect, incident trauma, neurodivergence, gender issues, queer-specific issues, anxiety, depression, lack of emotional connection, grief… the list goes on.
My modalities are grounded in being client-centred – I do not adopt the mantle of the objective medical expert – but a warm professional engagement with you around the issues that are important to you.
