When we truly care for ourselves, the question, "What do I need?" becomes woven into the fabric of our lives.

Let Us Support You on Your Journey to Healing and Growth

Welcome to our counselling practice, where we provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your inner landscape and navigate life's challenges. Here at Belle Counselling we understand that seeking therapy can be a daunting step, but trust me when I say that it's a decision you won't regret. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.

I remember my first experience of counselling, it really did change my life. I was studying to be a counsellor and didn’t think I needed any counselling support of my own. Boy, was I wrong! My own counselling journey taught me how to understand myself, how to build healthy relationships and how to heal from the traumas in my life. This journey was tough at times but having my counsellor along for the ride made all the difference. 

Life has its ups and downs, and it's completely normal to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain. As compassionate counsellors, we offer a judgment-free environment where you can share your experiences, thoughts, and emotions without fear. We believe in the power of empathy and therapeutic care to help foster a deep connection and understanding.

Counselling is not about providing quick fixes but rather about fostering lasting change. Through working with a counsellor, you can expect to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and learn invaluable tools to enhance your overall well-being. Here at Belle Counselling we firmly believe in your potential to thrive, and we aim to empower you to discover your inner strength and resilience.

Mentoring, Guidance, and Support for Your Counselling Career

Are you a counsellor or social worker looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable and supportive supervisor? 

Are you a counsellor or social worker looking to join a supervision group to navigate the (sometimes lonely) experience of being in private practice while being encouraged and upheld by members of the group? 

Having the right supervisor in your corner can make a world of difference. Working in mental health and supporting people through some of the toughest times of their lives can take its toll. As you probably already know, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and burnout runs rife through this industry. But when you have the right support including the right supervisor it can make longevity in your practice much more achievable. 

Here at Belle Counselling Services, we have supervisors who provide collaborative and empathic approaches to supervision. We believe in creating a space where you feel heard, supported, and encouraged to explore your experiences as a counsellor. Together, we will examine your client cases, reflect on your therapeutic techniques, and address any challenges that arise in your practice.

We understand that counselling supervision is an essential part of your ongoing learning journey. It is an opportunity for self-reflection, skill enhancement, and ethical guidance. We aim to provide you with a supportive and non-judgmental space to discuss your clinical work, explore your strengths, and identify areas for growth. Supervision can also be an important space to reflect on how your work impacts you and feel less alone when it bumps some of your own ‘stuff’. 

Our supervisors' main goal is to empower you to be an effective, compassionate, and ethical counsellor. We are committed to providing guidance and resources to help you meet your professional and personal goals so you can excel in your counselling practice.

Supervision fees can be found here and reduced fees apply for students/early career mental health professionals. Our counsellors specialise in providing supervision around eating disorders/disordered eating/body image concerns, trauma, suicide ideation and postnatal concerns. Please ensure you reach out to your membership organisation to determine your own supervision requirements. 

Our organisation plans to offer group supervision in 2024, please contact us if you're interested in joining a group. 

We know that being educated on the vast range of mental health concerns is a challenging task for anyone to consider. We also recognise that there are important professions that play an vital role in supporting other's mental health. These include teachers, youth workers, disability workers, corporate managers and mental health presenters just to name a few. We are able to offer you the space to come with questions and situations that you are looking for guidance. We can then provide you with support and education to be able to figure out the best way forward.  

Our counsellors can provide psychoeducation, tools to manage complex situations in schools, workplaces and even at home as well as suggestions on where to learn more. These consultation sessions can be a one-off option or a regular addition to your support in the personal or professional roles you manage.
