About Chantelle
Registered Psychologist
Whether you are commencing therapy for the first time or it is something you have undertaken before, I am understanding of how overwhelming the first steps can be.
I am a gentle and nurturing Psychologist and enjoy connecting with young adults 16yrs+. I have worked across a variety of sectors treating many psychological presentations, however in recent years have developed a strong interest in providing psychological support to women. I feel passionately about working with you to navigate through many of life's challenges and helping you regain a sense of control.
I am deeply committed to treating a range of anxiety related difficulties and offering emotional support to navigate the psychological challenges of life transitions. As a Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician with ANZAED, I also have a strong interest in the areas of disordered eating and body image. I have chosen to focus on the treatment of these specific areas, so I can dedicate my skills and knowledge to providing effective care.
Outside of the therapy space I am a mother. You will find me spending time with my family, enjoying a good coffee and travelling.

My Approach
My approach to therapy is relaxed and easy-going. I like to create a compassionate space that allows you to feel comfortable and safe. I want you to feel heard and understood so you can explore your feelings at your own pace. I enjoy working in a holistic and client centred way by recognising the importance of you as a person & the many factors influencing your life. Your individual needs, experiences and values are a meaningful component in my approach to therapy.
I provide thoughtful treatment planning and take the time to understand you as a person and tailor treatment accordingly. Using evidence-based practices I aim to make the process collaborative so we can work together to achieve your desired goals.
Therapy approaches include:
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
- Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT-E)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
- Mindfulness based practices
