About Chantelle
Chantelle Carrigg is an ACA and PACFA-credentialled counsellor with more than ten years' experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She works face-to-face and online from Australia and centres sessions on what matters to each person. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she treats people as the experts in their own lives.
Chantelle uses a mix of approaches, including Existential therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas.
Background and approach
She focuses on practical steps alongside deeper meaning work, so conversations can move between coping skills and big questions about values and purpose. This makes the work useful for both day-to-day struggles and longer term change. People come for help with trauma, abuse, depression, and problems like abandonment, attachment issues and blended family concerns.
She also supports those living with chronic illness, cancer, caregiving stress or major life transitions. Sessions aim to find what helps you regain balance rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. Chantelle offers straightforward guidance and holds space for difficult emotions.
She often blends cognitive and acceptance-based exercises with an emphasis on personal meaning. If someone prefers a gentle, reflective pace or a more skills-based focus, she adapts the work to fit those needs. Her practice values clarity and collaboration.
New clients complete a short questionnaire to match with a therapist and then schedule sessions that suit their circumstances. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Existential therapy helps people attend to questions of meaning, purpose and personal values. Online sessions let clients talk through those larger life questions and consider choices that matter to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to valued actions; it offers practical exercises that work well across video, phone or text formats. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and aim to build more supported ways of relating; this approach can be useful when discussing relationship habits or caregiving stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean starting with skills from ACT, moving into meaning-focused Existential conversations, or combining attachment-focused reflection with practical coping tools.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls support face-to-face style conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat allows real-time typing for those who prefer not to talk, and text-based messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving and other commitments.
