Dr Natasha Melunsky first began her training with a BSc in Psychology at the University of Exeter, graduating with a first-class degree, before going on to complete an MSc in Clinical Mental Health Sciences at University College London, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Surrey. Her path has taken her through child and adult community mental health services, physical health hospitals, and forensic services, where she has supported clients and families with a wide range of complex difficulties, which has shaped the way she now works with clients.
In the therapy room, Dr Melunsky brings an integrative approach. She draws on training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Systemic Family Therapy (SFT), and has a particular interest in emotion regulation and trauma, but most importantly, she adapts what she does to fit the person in front of her. She is also trained to conduct Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) assessments using the ADOS and ADI-R, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessments using the DIVA-5.
Dr Melunsky works collaboratively with each client, supporting them to understand their difficulties and empowering them to make meaningful, lasting change.
All clinicians at The Chelsea Psychology Clinic are trained to conduct comprehensive assessments, considering you as a whole person rather than a specific issue. They tailor treatment and integrate multiple therapeutic perspectives to create a plan that is both evidence-based and uniquely suited to you.
Dr Melunsky works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, emotion dysregulation, and trauma, and has specialist experience in personality disorders, complex-PTSD, and neurodiversity. Whatever someone is struggling with, Dr Melunsky aims to offer support that recognises and respects their unique needs and experiences.
Alongside her therapy work, Dr Melunsky is also involved in training, supervision, research, and service development, reflecting her passion for advancing clinical practice and improving the quality of care.
