About Chantelle
Hello, my name is Chantelle and I am a fully qualified and experienced Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I provide a safe, warm, and supportive space where we can explore your thoughts and help you make lasting, positive changes. My approach is down-to-earth and compassionate, ensuring that you feel properly heard and encouraged to talk freely about what is troubling you.
I specialise in Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT), which is a practical, action-oriented form of CBT. This method focuses on how our thoughts affect our feelings and subsequent behaviours. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify and challenge irrational beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, helping you manage your emotions in a more calm and rational way.
I understand that therapy is not a 'one size fits all' process, so I tailor my individual approach to your unique needs. While my foundation is in CBT and REBT, I often integrate other evidence-based techniques such as mindfulness, affirmations, imagery, and solution-focused methods. My goal is to meet you where you are right now and support you in moving forward.
All of our sessions will be collaborative and active. I aim to empower you to gain control over your life by learning the techniques of CBT and putting them into practice both during and outside of our sessions. This process helps develop a lasting toolkit of skills to bring balance, confidence, and a more fulfilling life.

Background & Experience
I am a fully qualified therapist holding an Advanced Integrative Diploma in CBT/REBT from the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, London. As an accredited member of the National Counselling Society (NCS), I work strictly within their code of ethics and participate in regular professional development and clinical supervision to ensure the highest standards of care.
In addition to my private practice, I have extensive experience working with organisations such as Mid-Kent Mind and Anxiety UK. My expertise covers a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, OCD, panic attacks, depression, and chronic sleep issues. I also specialise in helping clients navigate complex emotions like shame, guilt, and anger, as well as addressing challenges related to perfectionism, procrastination, and low self-esteem.
How I Can Help
I help you untangle what is keeping you stuck so you can move forward.
We will work together to set clear, achievable goals and a practical plan to help you make positive changes.
I will equip you with tools to get through difficult times and feel more in control of your life.
I help you to recognise cycles that hold you back and intensify difficult emotions such as anxiety, anger, low-mood and help you shift those patterns.
I guide you through a process to handle uncomfortable feelings like worry, anxiety, overwhelm and anger - while breaking unhelpful habits.

Verified reviews from clients who have completed sessions.
“I worked with Chantelle Bourne for over a year, and she has truly helped me manage my anxiety and panic attacks significantly, and helped drastically improve my quality of life. I have never been in therapy before so I was really apprehensive but Chantelle made me feel really safe and comfortable. I would like to thank her so much for her help and would highly recommend her to others!”
“I had numerous sessions with Chantelle across the Spring and Summer of 2025, as well as a top up session later this year. She really helped me in terms of learning and going through my thought processes, as well as listening and helping me know what my trigger points were and how to overcome them. Chantelle is friendly and knowledgeable with a raft of support and coping mechanisms available. Excellent value, I would recommend her without doubt.”
“Chantelle helped me through a number of difficult life encounters, she helped me by providing correct tools, but from my own understanding, she helped me guide myself into the right direction of where I wanted to be. She's extremely kind and warm and is switched on to what is appropriate in the moment, wether that be validation or guidance. She is also flexible and reliable. I recommend Chantelle. Thanks for all your help x”
“I couldn’t recommend Chantelle highly enough. From the very first session, she created such a caring, supportive and completely non-judgemental environment that I immediately felt at ease. I really appreciated that she took the time to understand whether she was the right person for me, as I felt this was so important in building a trusting relationship. She helped me to become truly reflective about myself, while giving me the tools and space to find my own way forward. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and everything I’ve learned through our sessions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, understanding and genuinely supportive counsellor.”
“Working with Chantelle has been a genuinely positive experience. From our first session, she made me feel comfortable, listened carefully and took the time to understand how anxiety was affecting different areas of my life. Chantelle is warm, understanding and non-judgemental, and she explains things in a clear and accessible way. I particularly valued the practical nature of our sessions. She helped me understand the patterns behind my anxiety and gave me useful, repeatable strategies for noticing, challenging and reframing unhelpful thoughts. I now feel calmer and much better equipped to manage anxiety when it arises. I would happily recommend Chantelle to anyone looking for compassionate, practical and effective support.”
“Had wonderful sessions which helped me deal with trauma and grief. Was able to walk me through different steps to take and what worked for me- so I could put myself first! I’m very appreciative and would recommend doing therapy with Chantelle”
“Chantelle helped me realise that I could rationalise the situation with some guidance. I will definitely contact her again if I feel I her professionally to help me navigate anxious situations. Thank you.”
