Belinda Sidhu

I’m a fully-qualified integrative therapist who specialises in supporting South Asians to live a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

I have experience in helping people to:

• Overcome unhealthy People Pleasing behaviours,
• Improve Self-Esteem, Confidence and be kinder to themselves,
• Manage Stress and Anxiety,
• Move forward following Narcissistic Abuse,
• Navigate and make sense of conflicting Cultural Issues, inc. interracial & intercultural relationships and family estrangement,
• Process Trauma. Including Loss, Childhood Trauma and Domestic Abuse.

I have worked with a wide range of client backgrounds across the UK and Worldwide.

As an integrative therapist and coach, I’m trained in and draw upon a range of proven approaches to craft a therapy journey bespoke to you – taking culture and intersectionality into account.

Using reparative therapeutic tools and resources to help you to process and develop understanding; and coaching techniques as well as energy psychology to support you in making effective, long-term change.

Approaches include Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis, Solution-Focussed Therapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Tapping).

For the first few sessions, I lean to a more directive approach as we get to know each other better. I will ask you questions about yourself, your childhood (cliché, but important!), your current situation, why you’ve come to therapy and importantly what you’d like to gain from your therapy journey.

In sessions, you won’t find a blank face nodding in agreement to everything you say. I’ve been described as having a ‘kind but firm’ approach. I believe in the power of thoughtful challenge to support you to get to a point where you can be your own therapist, actualise your true potential and live the life you truly desire and deserve.

It’s important to me that you feel comfortable with your therapist, and I place huge importance on building an empathic and confidential environment where you feel safe to discuss anything you want to without judgement.

Working together, I can help you to build resilience and provide you with the tools you need to achieve a resolution and move forward. Supporting you to shed the expectations from family, culture, society or what you think you should be doing and instead embrace your true self.

I offer an introductory 50 minute consultation (in-person or online depending upon availability) which will give you the opportunity to ask questions, whilst deciding if we are a good fit. The fee for this is £75 with sessions thereafter at £85.

You will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns and explore what would best help you meet your needs.

There will be time to ask any questions you might have to decide whether you would like to work together. 

Whilst on-going therapy can be helpful to many, you may find that you have a specific issue that you’d like to focus on. In this case, you may find the Breakthrough Single Session Therapy fits the bill. The fee is £180 for 75min session. Please enquire for more information to see if this option is right for you.
