EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy that can help you work through traumatic or emotionally difficult experiences in a structured and supportive way. It combines focused attention on memories or emotions with bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or alternating sounds) to help the brain process experiences that feel stuck or unresolved.

 

EMDR is most commonly associated with trauma and PTSD, but it is also highly effective in supporting anyone experiencing depression, anxiety, panic, low self-confidence, phobias, pain, and difficulties rooted in earlier life experiences. Many clients find that, over time, distressing memories begin to feel less emotionally charged and easier to manage thanks to a greater sense of distance and understanding.

​

As a qualified EMDR therapist, EMDR is introduced into my relational, integrative approach to psychotherapy when it feels clinically appropriate and when there is sufficient grounding and stability in place.

 

In addition to EMDR, I am also trained in the Flash Technique, an evidence-informed approach that can be used alongside EMDR. Flash is designed to help reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories without requiring you to focus on or describe the traumatic event in detail. For some clients, it can be a helpful stepping stone before or alongside EMDR, particularly when trauma feels too overwhelming to engage with directly.

 

​I am also a UKCP Registered Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. You can read more about counselling and what this means here or in my FAQs.

 

Sessions are offered within a thoughtful, contained, and well-supported therapeutic setting. If you are interested in exploring whether EMDR Therapy, Flash and/or Counselling may be helpful for your circumstances, please feel free to get in touch.
