Melissa Chadwick Therapy, providing compassionate Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy for individuals in Leeds and surrounding areas, or online to the UK.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Melissa Chadwick, and I’m a qualified, BACP registered and Accredited, Humanistic counsellor, and EMDR therapist. I am dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges with empathy, respect, and authenticity.
At the heart of my work is the belief that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and self-understanding. My approach is grounded in relational and humanistic values, which means I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. 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.
I work integratively, drawing primarily from person-centred, this allows me to adapt to your unique needs and experiences while always keeping the therapeutic relationship at the core of our work.
As an experienced trauma therapist, I have an increasing understanding of trauma, and how it can manifest across the mind, body, and behavior. 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 safe space where these complex experiences can be gently explored and integrated at a pace that feels right for you.

“I found Melissa at a time when I felt broken, lost and in despair, I had felt this way for as long as I could remember. I can honestly say that talking with Melissa has helped me to understand myself and why I felt the way I did, through this, I found my strength and the clouds lifted. I no longer feel scared, instead I feel excited by my possibilities.”
“Melissa is genuine and caring, she is able to create a safe space where you can talk openly without judgement. Talking with Melissa is genuinely a lifeline.”
“My sessions with Melissa have been both comforting and reassuring, I have really valued her honesty and encouraging ways of pushing me out of my comfort zone. She’s been very patient and given me the space to explore different conclusions and thoughts on my own, with her input where needed, to guide me out of a negative thinking pattern.”
