👋 Are you an anxious, overwhelmed mum looking for a therapist who gets you? Then you're in luck! I have availability for in-person and online sessions this autumn.

❤️ I can help you if you're feeling:

👉 stuck in life or a certain situation
👉 overwhelmed by motherhood
👉 anxious and having intrusive thoughts
👉 generally down or depressed
👉 confused by what you really want
👉 angry frequently and it's scaring you
👉 like you need to heal some childhood wounds
👉 you need to process your experiences or birth trauma

🙂 Just to remind you...I'm Belinda Gidman-Rowse, Counsellor & Psychotherapist, twin mama and mum of 3 under 5. Trust me, I get how messy motherhood can feel.

🙏 I am an integrative therapist which means I work with a range of modalities: Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am trauma-informed and always go at your pace.

🎉 What I did... 24 hours off from being mum

🚆 This summer I had a rare (and much-needed) night away from my 3 kids, hanging out in Bristol, the city I went to uni in many moons ago.

❤️ I had so much fun reconnecting with parts of myself I had (almost!) forgotten...

👉 Social fun- I caught up with some beloved friends from Bristol and Australia
👉 Arts & culture - soaking up the street art and vibes
👉 Foodie - as always the pubs & cafes of Bristol were a total treat

🎨 I also did some really fun creative stuff, losing track of time making necklaces out of clay, spending my Sunday morning doing creative writing in my journal with a chai

😊 And you know what? I came back feeling refreshed in mind, body & soul.

🙏 I often talk to my clients who are struggling with overwhelm, emotional dysregulation and the load of motherhood about (unmet) needs. As mothers we all need time out to reconnect with different parts of ourselves.

📞 If you're a mum in need of psychological support via online or in-person therapy sessions, I've got you. Drop me a DM or click the link in my bio to book a first session or free intro call to talk more.

👋 POV: It's that in-between-y time of year...
Sandals & jeans weather. How do you feel about change and transition? Back to school. End of summer. Autumn is coming.

❤️ For many of us change and transition can bring up a lot of feelings - grief, sadness, nostalgia, fear, discomfort, uncertainty, dread, denial and lots more.

🙏 I find in my therapy practice that exploring these feelings can reveal some really deeply held thoughts, beliefs and ideas about ourselves and the world. Therapy can bring us into closer contact with the parts of us that feel vulnerable or alone. Together we can bring compassion, curiosity and understanding to these parts of ourselves and listen to our deepest needs. This is where and how healing can begin.

📞 If you're interested in working with me this autumn, then please drop me a DM, comment "THERAPY" and I'll respond with my availability so we can set up a free 15 min intro call or book your first appointment.

🌞 Things I've learned from taking a social media break this summer (as a woman-centered counsellor/psychotherapist and mum of 3)

❤️ 1. Being off social media (annoyingly) isn't a silver bullet for curing my self-worth issues...these things still exist and I commit to doing the deeper work

🌊 2. However, my nervous system definitely needs... clear boundaries to protect myself from online overwhelm (so I'm going to set myself social media limits and regular breaks)

😃 3. I want to show up online in an authentic, conscious way (and I'm still very much figuring out what that looks like for me)

🌟 4. A reminder that my value as a therapist is best measured in the therapy room (rather than followers or likes on the grid)

🙏 5. Being present in the moment is the most important thing (and much easier when not being interrupted by notifications and updates)

📚 6. There totally is time to read books if you forsake a bit of scrolling (it's amazing how quickly you can get through a book by reading in the pockets of time throughout the day!)
..more thoughts & insights coming soon! 🤔

👋 Time to re-introduce myself... I'm Belinda Gidman-Rowse, Counsellor & Psychotherapist.

🤰 I support women through life transitions such as pregnancy, birth, motherhood, perimenopause and menopause. I can help you feel more confident, calm and grounded in your experience. 

❤️ Are you looking for a counsellor or therapist to help you through some challenging times?

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 I have experience working with anxiety, depression, stress, family issues, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and grief, among many other mental health challenges. I'm also a mother of three myself, so I totally get the ups and downs of early parenthood, and I'm here to support you through this, using my professional expertist and lived experience.

🌳 Therapy with me is a process of getting to know yourself more deeply. I am warm, caring and attentive, and will also gently challenge you so you can learn and grow.

🙏 I work as an integrative therapist, bringing together Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These are all types of therapy which value your subjective experience, and support deep, meaningful change through supportive relationships (internally and externally) and promote inner healing through self-trust and self-compassion.

📍 Online & in-person appointments are available from the beautiful Practice Room at Hunger Hill, Newton Popppleford near Sidmouth/Exeter (EX10) East Devon, and online to support anyone in the UK or Europe. 

📞 Please get in touch via DM or click the link in my bio to book a free 15 min intro call or book in for a first appointment.

🌞 I'm taking a break from social media over the summer to rest, re-set and re-focus my energy. Switching off is super hard when running your own business but it's also really important as a therapist to look after your own boundaries and mental and physical health, so I'm taking some time off to do just that.

❤️ I'm still going to be seeing clients (on a reduced schedule and with some planned holiday) and open to new referrals and client enquiries, so keep on reaching out. Just hit the links in my bio rather than DMs.

✉️ You can also sign up to my seasonal newsletter by clicking the link in my bio if you're keen to receive tips, news and content related to motherhood, mental health and matrescence.
