Chantelle Belinfantie
Compassionate counsellor blending practical and reflective work
About Chantelle
Chantelle Belinfantie uses a blend of client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches to help people manage difficult feelings. She brings ten years of experience and a BACP membership to her counselling work in the United Kingdom. Chantelle aims to offer a calm space where people can be heard and begin to find practical ways forward.
Her practice focuses on common but painful problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also works with grief, trauma and the effects of abuse, alongside issues like anger, addictions and isolation. Additional areas she addresses include communication problems, separation and divorce, family problems, guilt and shame, and women's issues. Chantelle draws on client-centred methods to follow the person’s lead and build trusting connection.
She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and try small, manageable changes. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover long-standing feelings linked to past experiences. Sessions are aimed at practical, steady progress.
People can expect calm listening, gentle questioning and practical tools they can use between meetings. Chantelle also brings experience supporting those facing bereavement and loss, and she spent several years volunteering with a bereavement counselling agency. She works with adults who want clear, compassionate help to cope and grow.
The tone is collaborative rather than prescriptive, with an emphasis on building emotional strength and everyday skills. Chantelle aims to help people feel less stuck and more able to move forward.

How Chantelle's Approaches Work Online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The counsellor follows the person's pace and helps them feel understood, which suits emotional concerns and low self-esteem.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It offers practical exercises and steps people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to feelings and patterns that come from past experiences. It can help make sense of repeated emotional reactions or long-standing issues such as emptiness or relationship patterns.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Chantelle will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods feel most useful. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face contact, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or when being on camera isn’t wanted. These options offer flexibility so people can keep therapy going around work, family or other commitments.
