About Chantelle
Chantelle Carrigg is an ACA and PACFA counsellor with more than 10 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and major life changes. She offers calm, straightforward care and a collaborative approach that treats the client as the expert in their own story.
Chantelle aims to create a space where people can talk about what hurts and also discover what helps. She focuses on small, practical steps alongside listening and reflection.
Background and approach
Sessions are person-centred and trauma-informed, and she works to gently rebuild coping skills and day-to-day routines. Her background includes helping people cope with loss, depression and the after-effects of abuse. Chantelle also supports those managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the practical and emotional challenges of divorce or separation.
She helps people address attachment concerns, body image, codependency and issues that follow adoption or foster care. Chantelle draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment techniques to build values-based action, and attachment-focused work to strengthen relationships with self and others.
Dialectical behaviour tools are used for emotion regulation and practical skills building. People who seek Chantelle's help often want straightforward guidance, steady support and tools they can use between sessions. She aims for clear, manageable goals and works at a pace that suits each person.
How Chantelle’s approaches work in online sessions
Chantelle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. ACT focuses on values-based action and practical exercises to reduce avoidance and build meaningful routines.She also integrates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT offers straightforward tools for managing anxiety, low mood and the everyday thoughts that get in the way of functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chantelle will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest options. This remains a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you progress and learn what helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversational work and visual connection. Phone can be useful when you need less bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text are handy for brief check-ins, skills practice and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other responsibilities.
