About Chantelle

Chantelle Carrigg is a qualified counsellor in Australia with more than 10 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She works from a compassionate, trauma-informed and person-centred perspective, believing that each client is the expert on their own story and that therapy is most effective when it is collaborative and respectful of individual strengths.

Chantelle helps clients identify and reconnect with the personal resources they already possess, offering a safe and supportive space to explore what hurts and what helps healing and growth. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including coping with life transitions, attachment and relationship issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image, and challenges related to adoption, aging, blended families and divorce.

She holds ACA and PACFA credentials, which reflect professional recognition within Australian counselling and psychotherapy associations. Chantelle approaches each person with patience and practical support, walking alongside clients as they take steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Chantelle integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside person-centred principles to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and supports steps toward a values-driven life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and navigating major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve connection and emotional regulation, which can help with abandonment, attachment issues and relationship challenges. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, nonjudgmental listening and empowering the client, creating space for self-discovery and resilience when coping with grief, trauma or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chantelle works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions so the chosen strategies feel practical and meaningful for the individual.

Online therapy with Chantelle is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel, which can help maintain continuity of care during life transitions or periods of limited availability.
