A structured approach
What EMDR involves
Sessions use guided eye movements while you hold a memory in mind. Most people find the memory becomes less vivid and less physically distressing.
Getting started
No long waitlist
Book online and choose a time that suits you.
Who you will see
Trained EMDR therapists
EMDR here is delivered by a registered therapist with specific EMDR training, working with trauma and PTSD.
How EMDR works
Reprocessing, not reliving
You do not have to describe the memory in detail. The work is on reducing its emotional and physical grip.
What people come with
EMDR is often used when talking therapy alone has not shifted things.
Unprocessed memories
Events that still feel present.
Overwhelm
Emotions that arrive faster than you can manage them.
Flashbacks
Images and sensations triggered without warning.
Anxiety
Persistent worry linked back to what happened.
How it works
Three steps from first contact to reprocessing.
Book a time
Choose a slot through the online booking system, or send an enquiry first.
Preparation
Your therapist checks that EMDR is a good fit and builds grounding skills before reprocessing starts.
Reprocessing
You work through target memories in structured sessions, with time afterwards to settle.
