Jane Belinda Therapy
Jane Belinda, BACP Accred. Therapist
There is no greater agony than a story left untold
My work is about creating a space where your story can finally be spoken, without judgement and without needing to have it figured out first.
Everyone's story is welcome, whether you are grieving, hurting, or acutely distressed from a traumatic experience , I invite you to share what hasn't been shared before and I will attentively listen.
If you are experiencing anxiety, depression or struggling with traumatic experiences and memories from childhood or adult life, these are areas that I specialise in. Trauma might show up as loneliness and isolation, chaos in daily life or relationships, a lost sense of self, low self-esteem, failure to reach potential, difficulty trusting self or others, or struggling to feel safe in close relationships.
I don't believe any of this defines you. I believe, with the right support, it's possible to live a full and enriching life on the other side of suffering.
Difficult experiences are part of being human, not a departure from it
I bring together extensive clinical experience with a genuine curiosity about what sits beneath the difficulties people bring to therapy. I don’t believe in using one approach for everyone, I adapt the work to your unique needs.
Experience
My experience as a therapist has developed across a wide range of settings, from the NHS and women’s services to private practice, supervision and specialist trauma work. Earlier in my career I also worked delivering speech and language therapy to children with autism, which gave me a strong understanding of neurodiversity and the different ways people experience and communicate their inner worlds.
During my time in the NHS, I created and led a counselling and wellbeing service, providing trauma-informed relational counselling, supervision and training to NHS staff during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. This service was so successful it formed the basis for a published research paper.
My training in couples and attachment-focused approaches also informs my work with individual therapy, particularly when relationship patterns, attachment experiences or difficulties with trust and connection are part of what brings someone to therapy.
These experiences have shaped the therapist I am today.
