About Belinda
Counsellor Belinda Noda is a BACP member with five years' practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with life changes, grief, trauma and a range of personal and work-related pressures.
Belinda qualified later in life and draws on that life experience when she listens. She asks about what has happened and what the person wants to change. Sessions are practical and conversational. The aim is to help people notice what matters and take small steps forward.
Her main approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred work and mindfulness techniques. That means sessions can include noticing thoughts without getting stuck, exploring values, and practising simple attention exercises. Belinda uses these methods to help with anxiety, coping with losses, and deciding on next steps in relationships or work.
Belinda says there is no single correct way to do therapy. She and the client agree the pace and focus together. Meetings are intended to be non-judgemental and respectful while keeping to clear goals and practical actions.
To begin, a person chooses the online counselling options button on the site, completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first session. Belinda will then have an initial conversation to see whether her approach fits the person’s needs.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make choices based on what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and when life changes feel overwhelming.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a clear, accepting presence while the person talks through their situation and decides what they want to try next.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and ways to ground in the present. These practices can reduce rumination and make day-to-day moments less stressful.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Belinda will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and agree what to try first. This is a collaborative decision and can change as the work progresses.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can fit sessions into a busy week and cut out travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins, or sessions when being on camera is not needed. Check the platform options and choose what fits your routine and needs.
