Chantelle Belinfantie

Chantelle Belinfantie is a counsellor who draws on several established approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loneliness. She holds BACP accreditation and brings ten years of practice in the United Kingdom. Chantelle aims to offer a calm, respectful space where people can talk through difficult feelings at a pace that suits them.

Her work combines client-centred listening with elements from cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas. That mix is used to look at what keeps problems going now, and to try practical ways of changing day-to-day patterns. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps as well as understanding past experiences that still affect feelings today.

Chantelle has experience supporting people through trauma, abuse, bereavement and relationship breakdown. She has also worked with issues such as addiction, anger, guilt and low self-esteem. Isolation and loneliness are among the areas she pays attention to when people say they feel cut off from others.

She has spent time working with people who have additional access needs and with those facing complex mental health challenges. This background informs a flexible, down-to-earth approach that aims to meet each person where they are. Conversations are shaped collaboratively, with priorities set together.

To begin, Chantelle asks people to think about what they want from counselling and to share that in an initial matching process. From there she and the person agree on the focus and practical next steps for therapy.

How Chantelle's approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to work on. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect feelings and teaches practical skills to change everyday patterns. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past relationships and early life experiences that can still shape feelings now, helping people make sense of recurring difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working together. That plan can change over time as different needs emerge and progress is reviewed collaboratively.

Session formats are not stated in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can help fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments by reducing travel time and making it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to use quiet times in their day, choose whether to be on camera, or select session lengths that suit a busy schedule. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using these approaches, often find these practical features help people keep therapy consistent alongside daily life.
