About me
Hi, my name is Belinda, I work with Adults (18+yrs) and I specialise in indoor/outdoor therapy. I work with clients wanting to make sense of experiences such as traumatic life events, internal struggles, recovering from experiences in earlier life, finding a way through challenging life changes, or developing coping strategies to navigate stressful living in the 21st century. I will offer you a safe and confidential space to support you in making sense of your feelings, thoughts and experiences and work with you towards achieving your goals.
I am BACP registered integrative therapist, with 12+ years experience as a practitioner. I specialise in working in the outdoors in walk & talk therapy; as a qualified Walk Leader (Lowland Leader through the Mountain Training Association); a qualified Mindfulness Teacher (Mindfulness Association approved teacher) and previously worked for 15+yrs in the field of complementary therapy (Aromatherapy, Shiatsu and TCM).
I have found that, in the same way that indoor therapy offers a space where we explore aspects of our own nature, so the outdoors can offer an alternative space in nature, where we might feel more in tune with this process. Working in this way, we use not only the benefits of being in nature, but also we work with our responses to nature and the shape and feel of the landscape that we’re walking through or sitting in. Working in this way insights arise into the nature of past or current experiences and relationships.
I currently offer in-person sessions either indoor/outdoors and also online. My in-person sessions are currently running out of Loggerheads, near Mold in Flintshire on Mondays and Fridays.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
