Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a specialist therapy designed to help people recover from trauma and distressing experiences. It is widely recognised as one of the most effective treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), but it can also support people struggling with anxiety, depression, or painful memories that continue to affect daily life.
How EMDR Can Help
Traumatic or overwhelming experiences can sometimes become “stuck” in the brain, leading to flashbacks, heightened emotions, or a sense of being trapped in the past. EMDR works by using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess these memories. Over time, this reduces their emotional intensity and allows you to move forward with greater freedom and resilience.
What to Expect in Sessions
During EMDR sessions, you will be guided safely through a structured process at a pace that feels right for you. There is no need to go into detail about the traumatic event if you don’t want to — the focus is on helping your brain process the memory differently. Many clients find that EMDR helps them feel lighter, calmer, and more in control of their lives.
