Chantelle Belinfantie , BACP

Chantelle Belinfantie is a counsellor who draws on person-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas to help people manage difficult feelings. She works with common problems such as anxiety, depression, stress and low self-esteem, and pays particular attention to issues that affect women.

Her practice focuses on straightforward conversations and practical steps. Sessions aim to make sense of what is happening now, and to find small changes that reduce distress. Chantelle listens actively and helps people name their feelings, spot unhelpful patterns, and try new ways of coping.

Over ten years of experience means she has supported people through grief, trauma and addiction-related difficulties. She has worked with concerns such as anger, isolation, family problems and communication breakdowns. She also offers help around matters like abandonment, guilt and self-love.

Chantelle trained to the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That credential reflects professional membership and standards she follows in the United Kingdom.

Therapy uses a collaborative style. Clients and Chantelle agree goals and test different approaches to see what fits. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text so conversations can fit into busy lives.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability. The service runs on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so clients feel understood. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help people discover their own solutions and regain confidence in decision-making.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood and change unhelpful habits.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and relationships can shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people notice repeated patterns and make different choices in daily life.

Working out the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals and try methods that match each person's needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video is helpful for conversational depth, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat or text suit brief check-ins and ongoing support. This range lets people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while using approaches that actually help them.
