Bel Fin Psychotherapy & Counselling

Specialisations: All relationships – love, family, friendships, work etc

Perinatal – pregnancy and early parenting – working with men and non-birthing parents and caregivers working with women and birthing parents.

Most people who come to see me are capable, they care and they are holding a lot.
From the outside, life can look bad – or fine – but internally, something is feeling wrong, or stressful.

You may have a sense that you’ve outgrown parts of your life, but don’t yet know what’s next. You are facing a difficult life change (separation, new baby, changes in relationships/life/career). It might show up in your relationships, or you may be hard on yourself. Often, the same patterns are repeating: Dysregulated emotions, blowing up or shutting down, or disconnecting, numbing out, even when you don’t want to be.

This is the work we do. We face what’s happening/happened together. I offer therapy for adults and young people who want more than surface-level change. People who want to understand themselves properly, shift patterns, and create a better way of living and relating.

My approach is relational, practical, and grounded in evidence-based therapy and augmented with creative experiential psychotherapies. We don’t just talk about problems; we work with what’s happening in real time in context of what’s happened before. That includes your thoughts, your emotions, and how things show up in your body and nervous system. I teach skills and practices for managing relationships at work, in family, with oneself. That can be education and/or skills and practices.

Together, we make sense of:

·       why you react the way you do

·       how your nervous system has adapted over time

·       the patterns that keep playing out in relationships

·       what needs to shift for things to feel different

I work with:

·       relationship difficulties (dating, partners, family, work, children,
        parents)

·       burnout, pressure, and high-functioning stress

·       new or soon to be parents (perinatal) and parents of children all
        ages

·       complex trauma and family patterns

·       identity shifts, life transitions, and loss of direction

·       people who feel stuck but know there’s more for them

I also work with parents, professionals, and people in helping roles who are used to being the one others rely on.

Sessions are warm, direct, and conversational. You’ll be supported but also challenged where needed. The aim isn’t just to cope better, it’s to change what’s not working.
