About Chantelle
Chantelle Belinfantie is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has ten years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common problems such as anxiety, depression, stress and grief, and she also helps with relationship and parenting concerns.
She uses a blend of client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas in one-to-one work. That means sessions can focus on current patterns, practical coping skills, or the history behind recurring feelings. Chantelle aims to keep sessions straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change.
Her background includes four years volunteering in bereavement counselling, where she supported people learning to live with loss. That experience informs how she helps people manage grief, guilt and shame after bereavement or separation.
Chantelle has also worked with people affected by trauma, domestic violence and addictions. She offers practical strategies for reducing anxiety and anger, alongside conversations that look at long-term patterns and relationship difficulties.
People who choose her often want help with family problems, parenting strain, communication breakdowns, or repairing trust after separation. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life and to build clearer communication and steadier mood over time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Chantelle draws on client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy in online work. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their feelings and choices. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to build clearer self-understanding.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It suits people who want concrete steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood or break a cycle of avoidance. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat over time and can help when past experiences affect current relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Chantelle will discuss what feels most useful and adapt sessions based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change as work progresses.
Check which session formats she currently offers before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter review appointments, or remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to keep contact consistent when life is hectic.
