Difficult or traumatic experiences — whether recent or long ago — can have a lasting effect on how you feel, think and cope in the present day. You might experience anxiety, low mood, flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation or a constant sense of being on edge.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories so they feel less intense and no longer get in the way of everyday life. It uses bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, to support this natural healing process.
We offer EMDR as a standalone treatment or combined with other therapies like CBT, ACT, mindfulness or compassion-focused therapy. Sessions are tailored to your pace, with a focus on safety, collaboration and helping you move forward in your life with greater confidence and ease.
