Angela Chadwick Psychology

Welcome, I’m Angela.

Perinatal & Infant Psychologist | EMDRAA Accredited EMDR Consultant | Board Approved Clinical Supervisor

I'm Angela, a psychologist with a special interest in perinatal, reproductive and medical trauma, with over 20 years' experience in mental health and 14 years as a psychologist.

As an EMDRAA Accredited EMDR Consultant, I bring extensive clinical experience and specialist EMDR expertise to my work with adults navigating the impact of fertility treatment, pregnancy complications, traumatic birth, medical interventions, NICU experiences and pregnancy loss. I also work with complex and earlier trauma that can resurface during the transition to parenthood.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and informed by contemporary trauma therapy. EMDR is central to my clinical work, alongside attachment-informed and parts-informed approaches, including Relational Integrative EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also draw on Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), depending on the person's individual needs.

I also have a particular interest in trauma-focused dyadic EMDR work with infants and young children aged 0–4 years. This includes direct support for little people whom have experienced scary medical procedures and other experiences involving pain, distress or separation.

Alongside my clinical practice, I provide EMDR consultation, clinical supervision and professional training for mental health practitioners seeking to deepen their EMDR confidence and proficiency.

My work is informed by a simple belief: people deserve psychological care that understands not just what happened, but how it continues to affect them.

If you feel like we might be a good fit, please reach out.
