EMDR THERAPY
When the past is still affecting you today
Have you experienced something that you still find difficult to move on from?
Perhaps you feel anxious, have upsetting memories or flashbacks, or find yourself reacting strongly to situations that remind you of the past. You may understand why you feel this way but still struggle to change how you feel.
EMDR THERAPY
When the past is still affecting you today
Have you experienced something that you still find difficult to move on from?
Perhaps you feel anxious, have upsetting memories or flashbacks, or find yourself reacting strongly to situations that remind you of the past. You may understand why you feel this way but still struggle to change how you feel.
HOW CAN EMDR HELP?
EMDR may help you process difficult experiences, so they have less impact on your life today.
It doesn't have to be this way.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an established therapy that helps people process traumatic and distressing experiences.
It may help to:
Reduce the distress connected to painful memories.
Ease the impact of flashbacks and triggers.
Work through feelings of fear, shame or guilt.
Address negative beliefs about yourself linked to past experiences.
Feel more settled and better able to manage everyday situations.
The aim is not to forget what happened, but to help the past feel less overwhelming in the present.

EMDR IS NOT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE
Is EMDR right for you?
Before beginning, I carry out an assessment to understand your experiences, current circumstances and needs. This helps us decide whether EMDR is appropriate or whether another approach, such as talk therapy, would be more helpful.
If we decide to work with EMDR, we will consider your readiness and work at a pace that takes account of your needs. Difficult memories can bring up strong emotions, so your wellbeing and having the right support in place are important.
TAKING THE FIRST STEP
Ready to explore whether EMDR therapy is right for you?
If you would like to explore whether EMDR could help you, the first step is to book a paid initial call with me. We can discuss what you are experiencing and consider the most appropriate way forward.
EMDR sessions are priced separately from talk therapy. We will discuss suitability, the approach and fees before proceeding with treatment.
