Chantal Kayem is a psychologist based in Maroubra, in Sydney’s east. You can find her practice at 7 Bridges St, Maroubra NSW 2035. She supports people who are dealing with everyday stress, worry, and emotional ups and downs, and she helps clients build practical ways to cope.
Chantal works with adults and people who want to feel more steady and in control in their day-to-day life. Sessions can be a good fit if you’re finding it hard to manage stress, if your mood has been feeling off, or if you’re stuck in patterns that keep repeating. At times, it can also help when life changes, work pressure, or relationship strain leaves you feeling overwhelmed.
In counselling, Chantal focuses on understanding what’s going on for you now, not just the past. She uses approaches such as behavioural therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). These methods are aimed at helping you spot how thoughts, feelings, and actions can link together. Then you can start trying small, real-life changes that make things a bit easier.
Stress management is a big part of her work. That might mean learning simple tools to slow your mind down when you feel keyed up, or using strategies to handle tough moments before they build. Emotional support is also a key part of the process. Some days you might need help naming what you’re feeling, and other days you might want more structure and clear steps to work through things.
Chantal also offers guidance that supports better coping skills. Over time, many people find they can respond differently to triggers, even if the situation hasn’t magically disappeared. It’s often about finding what works for you, keeping it realistic, and making progress one step at a time.
Chantal’s background is in psychology, and she uses her training to guide sessions in a calm and down-to-earth way. She also speaks English and French, which can be helpful for clients who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in either language.
If you’re looking for a psychologist in Maroubra who can help you sort through stress, emotions, and stuck thinking, Chantal Kayem is ready to support you with counselling sessions that feel practical and grounded.
