Chantelle Belinfantie , BACP

Chantelle Belinfantie is a UK-based counsellor with ten years of professional experience who combines warmth and clinical skill to support people through difficult times. She works from an integrative perspective, drawing on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs, helping clients explore thoughts, emotions, and relational patterns in practical and meaningful ways.

Her practice has included work with children, young people, and adults, and she has developed particular expertise supporting those with learning and physical disabilities as well as people facing complex mental health challenges. Chantelle’s core areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, and addictions, and she offers targeted support for issues such as abandonment, communication problems, domestic violence, and feelings of emptiness.

Trained in bereavement counselling, Chantelle volunteered for four years with a specialist bereavement agency where she supported people through loss and bereavement, helping them to process emotions and develop personalised coping strategies. She holds BACP, a recognised counselling association in the UK, and is committed to providing a compassionate, nonjudgemental space where clients can feel heard and develop resilience. Chantelle approaches therapy as a collaborative process, walking alongside individuals as they work toward healing, growth, and more fulfilling lives.

Integrative approaches for online therapy

Chantelle uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting, empathetic space where clients lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace; this approach is useful for building self-awareness, self-worth, and emotional regulation. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Where helpful, elements of Psychodynamic Therapy are used to explore how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current difficulties, offering insight into long-standing challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chantelle collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust strategies so the work remains focused and relevant.

Online therapy with Chantelle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexible options to suit busy lives and differing comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, allowing therapy to fit around daily commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
