Melissa Chadwick BSc, PGCert, PGDip, MBACP (Accred), EMDR Certified
My name is Melissa Chadwick, and I’m a qualified, BACP registered and Accredited, Humanistic counsellor and EMDR practitioner. I am dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges with empathy, respect, and authenticity.
I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace while always keeping the therapeutic relationship at the core of our work.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, or simply a sense that something isn’t quite right, I’m here to support you as you navigate your path forward.
As an experienced trauma therapist, I have a good understanding of how trauma can manifest across the mind, body, and our behaviour. Trauma often lives in the body, influencing our nervous system responses, physical health, and emotional regulation. It can shape how we think, relate, and respond to the world around us, sometimes in ways we are not aware of.
I can support you in exploring this with compassion and curiosity, creating a space where these complex experiences can be gently explored and processed at a pace that feels right for you.
With 26 years working in mental health, I have dedicated my career to supporting both young people and adults through complex emotional and psychological challenges.
