Mel Kakkar Psychological Therapist Newcastle – Specialising in Trauma Treatment

Mel specialises in helping adults who face mental health challenges rooted in trauma. While her expertise spans many areas, her core focus lies in treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, grief, and adjustment disorders that stem from difficult life experiences.

Because trauma manifests in many ways, Mel uses integrative techniques to promote long-term healing. Whether you’re dealing with recent distress or long-standing emotional wounds, Mel provides therapy with empathy, clarity, and purpose.

Extensive Training and Professional Background

Mel’s qualifications reflect her deep commitment to learning and growth. She earned her Postgraduate Diploma in CBT from Teesside University in 2012. She completed all three levels of EMDR training between 2013 and 2014.
