Chantelle Belinfantie

Chantelle Belinfantie is a counsellor who draws on client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches. She offers calm support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger or depression. Chantelle uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of their feelings and find practical ways to cope.

Chantelle has around ten years of experience working in the United Kingdom. Her background includes supporting people through trauma, grief and relationship difficulties, and helping with addictions and low self-esteem. She has also worked with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness and isolation.

She blends short-term, goal-focused work with deeper exploration of past patterns. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and notice how early experiences affect present feelings. This combination can help with day-to-day coping and longer-term emotional change.

Chantelle has a BACP credential and has volunteered as a bereavement counsellor for several years. That experience shaped her practical approach to grief and loss and informed how she supports people through painful transitions.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She invites people to set the pace and priorities for therapy, while also offering tools and reflections to move things forward. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Chantelle’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor reflects what they hear and follows the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through strong feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence mood. It uses simple, practical exercises to try different ways of thinking and acting. This can help with anxiety, anger and day-to-day coping skills.

Psychodynamic work explores how past experiences shape present reactions and relationships. It can be useful for patterns that keep repeating or for feelings that seem linked to earlier events.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will collaborate with the person to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as goals and needs change. This keeps work focused and relevant to each individual.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats offered before booking, as these are not specified in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage.
