Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a transformative therapy designed to help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional pain associated with them.
When you first make contact our Senior Counselling Consultant will assess your personal issues and challenges and decide the best way forward for you.
At its core, EMDR is a psychotherapy approach that helps individuals process disturbing or traumatic memories that may be negatively affecting their emotional well-being and behaviour. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which relies primarily on verbal expression and insight, EMDR integrates bilateral stimulation—often in the form of guided eye movements—to facilitate the processing of these memories.
The therapy follows a structured eight-phase approach that involves identifying traumatic memories, assessing the associated negative beliefs, and using bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess these memories in a healthier way. The goal is to reduce the emotional charge these memories hold and enable the client to integrate the memories without overwhelming distress.

The approach we use ensures we are able to help clients to break patterns from the past, alleviate the symptoms which are causing them to feel anxious or low, and ensure they develop the tools to enable them to stay on track.
