Chantelle Belinfantie, BACP

Chantelle Belinfantie works from a person-centred, integrative stance that draws on psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. She aims to make therapy straightforward and understandable. Chantelle encourages people to speak in their own words and to set goals that matter to them. She uses plain language and practical steps to help with day-to-day struggles.

Chantelle has around 10 years of experience supporting adults through a range of problems. She has particular experience with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bereavement and self-esteem. She also helps people facing relationship tensions, parenting strain, issues with anger, and problems linked to addiction.

Her work often involves talking through difficult memories and emotional patterns. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to try different coping skills and change unhelpful thinking.

Sessions pay attention to practical steps and emotional understanding. Chantelle helps people build self-compassion and clearer communication. She also supports work on boundaries, forgiveness, and feeling less isolated.

Chantelle is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Chantelle's approaches translate to online therapy

Chantelle draws on client-centred work, CBT and psychodynamic ideas to shape online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead to build trust and clarity. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to name what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at current thinking and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to ease anxiety or low mood. It can be helpful for stress, panic, unhelpful thoughts and problems that respond to step-by-step skills practice.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to patterns that come from earlier relationships and experiences. It helps people understand recurring feelings and reactions so they can make different choices in daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy. Chantelle will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can shift as the work progresses and new priorities emerge.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available session options before booking so you know how you will meet. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work and family life, and they can reduce travel time and scheduling stress. Confirming formats up front helps plan appointments that suit everyday routines.
