About Chantelle

Chantelle Belinfantie works with adults on anxiety, stress, depression, grief and relationships using an integrative approach that combines Client-Centred Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years' experience in practice.

Chantelle offers direct, conversational counselling that focuses on everyday problems. Sessions look at current difficulties and the patterns that maintain them. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy are used alongside reflective discussion about past experiences and how they affect feelings now.

She has a background supporting people through bereavement, and volunteered for four years with a bereavement counselling agency. That work involved listening, helping people to name painful emotions and developing coping strategies for loss.

Her caseload has included people with complex mental health challenges and those living with learning or physical disabilities. She also supports people dealing with relationship breakdown, domestic violence, parenting strain and issues around self-esteem and shame.

In sessions Chantelle aims to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. She also looks at early life patterns when they seem relevant, and works collaboratively to set practical goals. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment using the Talk to a counsellor online button.

Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and cost varies with location. Sessions are offered in English and Chantelle does not accept international clients at this time.

How Chantelle uses different approaches in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work and focuses on their experience in the here and now; it helps when someone needs an accepting, non-directive space to talk through feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to early relationships and repeated patterns, which can help when people notice the same difficulties arising in different situations.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, suggest what might help most, and review progress together so the plan can change if needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It also offers flexibility for shorter check-ins, sessions that do not require a camera, or appointments that fit around work and childcare – practical choices that help people keep therapy part of everyday life.
