Belinda Noyes, Therapeutic Guide
Are you going through something at the moment where having some support would make the journey easier?
Perhaps you are needing to make yourself a priority, learn self-love/self-care, or perhaps you are going through life changing heartbreaking grief, or a divorce, or healing wounds from childhood - whatever it may be - I am here to work with you during this period as your therapist, counsellor, life coach, guide, supporter - it doesn't matter what you call it. My role is to be that one person in your life that is there just for YOU, to help you navigate this time in your life. To help you heal emotional wounds, to help find clarity and understanding and to develop a deep self love.
It isn't my job to give you the answers - it is my job to make sure you are asking the right questions.
Want to learn more about me, my qualifications and how Soulful Moment came to exist in the world.
It is a cliche but you can't serve from an empty cup. You need to keep it topped up and give from the over flow, instead of using your reserves, which is required to meet your own needs - otherwise we end up in burnout. It can be hard, I know.... especially when you have children.
Yet, everyone deserves to invest time, energy, effort in themselves - for their own benefit and for those around them. We all need to tend to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health everyday - not just when a problem arises.
As a Mother, I know that when I self care, when I am connected to my emotional, mental and spiritual needs, when I have acceptance for myself and my story.....
THEN I can easily address problems and difficulties.
AND THEN I have SO much more to give my family.
I get to respond to them with love and patience instead of reacting to them with fear and anxiety.
Caring for myself the best I can, healing emotional wounds, and developing a mindful emotional awareness enables me to SHOW UP and give the BEST of me to my family.
What price do you put on knowing you are enough, that you're worthy, to undo (usually) a lifetime of self abuse or un-serving habits? Perhaps the question should be 'what is it costing you' to NOT feel good enough, to not know that you are worthy, to not self care, to not manage emotions, to not understanding your issues, to not be aware of any beliefs that aren't serving you.
The work you do when you invest in your mental, emotional and spiritual health, develops self awareness and a clarity which then flows into every area of your life. Healing and doing this in-depth work rewards you with the freedom to live, work, parent and love from a place of healing, not from fear, limiting beliefs or flawed thinking.
Changing your thinking, perception, beliefs, and expectations will transform the way you 'show up' in the world.
I support women using therapeutic writing or in personal sessions in my studio in Oxford, NZ.
Therapeutic writing is a great way of working, and has just as much therapeutic value as a counselling or therapy session, possibly even more, because you get to keep every word and reread it - each time it might take you deeper as your thought process progresses. AND, you learn how to do writing therapy yourself, you learn how to make it your own therapeutic practice.
The benefits of writing therapy help clarify thoughts, feelings, emotions, challenges and problems.
It has therapeutic benefit because it helps you think more clearly, examine your feelings, process your emotions and worries.
When we work together, we can quickly and easily discover:
Your flawed beliefs,
Untruthful thoughts,
Contradictions,
Patterns that keep you stuck
The insight that comes from new perspective is profound.
Imagine if it helped you define exactly WHAT the problem was so the solution could be seen clearly.
Albert Einstein said if he only had one hour to solve a problem, he would spend 55 minutes defining the problem and the remaining 5 minutes solving it.
That’s because once you know exactly what the issue is, the rest is either problem solving or managing the situation.
If we don’t identify the problem or issue, then any attempts at changing either just keep us running in circles.
Writing therapy helps you discover and connects you with your inner self.
It can help you find acceptance and help manage difficult emotions such as grief.
You write to me, like you would in a journal (don’t worry, questions and prompts can be given).
I reply in a way that help us deeply explore the problem, yourself, your beliefs, your thoughts, your feelings.
Questioning, challenging, recognising and acknowledge all these things that make up your inner world helps you to gain any understanding and clarity that you might need.
If you want to get to know me or my work then read some of the LETTERS under the library menu - this is similar to how we would work together, but the letter has been amalgamated into one response - imagine what we could achieve with multiple communications.
THINGS TO KNOW:
You will uncover your flawed beliefs, un-serving behaviours and patterns, you will be conscious of how your thoughts and beliefs contribute to everything. You will gain a different perspective and a different way of looking at things.
We can build ourselves a really strong foundation that is free of emotional clutter and self abuse. Maybe it might not be possible to achieve absolute freedom - but it will be better organised emotional clutter and you will be able to be conscious of any self abuse - thereby being able to address it each time you fall back into old patterns.
We can hope to achieve a foundation - where the majority of the time we are connected to all parts of our self, with acceptance, love and non-judgement.
We can experience and appreciate the beauty of the FULL human experience without wanting a fairytale ending. Genuine, messy and authentic means SO much more because it is real.
This work is for women that don’t just want a traditional 'talking' therapy. I work in a way that combines counselling, coaching, mindfulness and therapeutic writing, it is an integrated approach.
AND
BECAUSE
I KNOW how hard it can be, I know how hard women are on themselves and I know you want the best for your family - I am just like you - we all are - some of us are just more honest and courageous in showing our vulnerability.
But, here's the thing -
YOU CAN'T BE A LOVING, GENEROUS, SOULFUL PERSON IF YOU DON'T OFFER YOURSELF THOSE THINGS FIRST.
You have to give yourself love, kindness, compassion and nurturing in order to truly be able to give it to others.
You have to be able to meet your needs if you are going to be of service to those you love.
Because, I PROMISE at some point it’s going to catch up with you.
It is then that most people seek help - when they reach crisis BUT we don't have make it harder for ourselves by waiting until we get to that point.
If you have old wounds that need addressing - I GUARANTEE that they will be opened and triggered by your children at some stage.
If we don't do the work on ourselves THEN we respond to children (or other loved ones) from a place of wounded fear.
When you can bravely address it, when you give yourself what YOU need, then you are able to respond to others with what THEY need.
You really don't have to spend years in therapy to get to the core of issues and start to accept, manage and embrace what has or is happening in order for things to transform.
Life is NEVER going to perfect.
We need to connect with our essences and live from that soulful place NOW.
That helps us deal WITH life, not be something we achieve when life is going smoothly and we have everything figured out.

The maximum I will work consecutively with someone is usually no more than 6 months.
It is my job to empower you to be able to do this work yourself, on your own.
Sometimes we need that extra support - absolutely, but I don't believe in creating dependency (that is the opposite of what we should be trying to achieve) and I don't believe that people should be 'in therapy' as an ongoing thing (unless you are addressing a serious mental illness, in which case my style of working isn't suitable).
I only work with a limited number of women at any one time,
to ensure that I am able to give you the very best attention.
Even though we communicate through writing - the therapeutic relationship is still the same. One that is based on trust and you need to feel valued, seen and heard.
Connect with me to find out more.
You will find that it is cheaper than traditional therapy.
And you don't need to leave your home!
We have a range of options available::
Intensive (2 therapeutic emails per week)
Moderate (2 therapeutic emails per fortnight)
At your own pace (2 therapeutic emails per month)
All packages are currently on sale for $100 NZD.
NOTE: I clarify therapeutic email because quick, brief emails that might just be asking a question or seeking clarification do not count as part of your package - these are completely free and often necessary.
