Belinda's therapeutic approach is characterised by an integration of person-centered and psychodynamic methodologies. She has a profound interest in helping clients explore their inner selves by looking into their childhood, upbringing and past experiences. She believes that understanding these foundational aspects is crucial in shaping one's identity and current life circumstances.
