About Chantel

Background and approach

Conversations center on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Chantel encourages gentle self-reflection and clear action, rather than long lectures or jargon. Chantel draws on client-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and follows each client’s lead while offering guidance.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to break problems into manageable goals and motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change. Mindfulness tools are offered to help manage stress and strong emotions. With four years of professional experience and the credential LISW-CP - Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice, Chantel brings both training and real-world practice to sessions.

She partners with clients to set realistic goals and to track small wins over time. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and respectful. Chantel keeps language simple and focuses on what clients can do now to move toward their priorities.

The approach is practical, steady, and rooted in the client’s own values and strengths.

Approaches that guide online work and what to expect

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection while helping people clarify their own goals and choices. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to sort through feelings and decisions.

Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small goals. It helps clients identify what is already working and build short-term strategies to move forward. This approach is often helpful for tackling specific problems and measuring progress quickly.

Chantel treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options and adapt methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they choose techniques that feel workable and relevant to daily life.

Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to keep momentum between meetings and to fit support into busy lives. Many people find the variety of online options helpful when balancing work, family, and self-care.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
