EMDR - Evidence-based trauma psychotherapy

Evidence-based trauma therapy for deep psychological change, mind, body and soul.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy helps the brain safely process difficult experiences so they no longer trigger overwhelming emotions, intrusive memories, or negative beliefs.

Using bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements), EMDR allows the nervous system to resolve unresolved experiences, helping people move from survival responses into calm, clarity and emotional freedom.

It is widely used to treat trauma, anxiety, stress, anger, overwhelm and negative self-beliefs.

  • Where the brain’s natural healing system is activated
  • Where traumatic memories lose their emotional charge
  • Where negative beliefs transform into empowering ones
  • Where the nervous system returns to safety
  • Where lasting psychological change becomes possible

A faster pathway to healing: Intensive EMDR (I-EMDR)

While traditional EMDR is delivered weekly, Intensive EMDR (I-EMDR) provides longer or more frequent sessions across a condensed period, sometimes over several days.

Research shows this approach can produce the same or faster reductions in trauma symptoms, depression and anxiety, while maintaining the therapeutic momentum needed for deep processing.

Many clients experience significant shifts within days rather than months, with this format creating a protected therapeutic container where change can unfold rapidly.

For people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or tired of slow progress, I-EMDR offers a focused and evidence-based alternative.

Available formats for EMDR or I-EMDR include:

• Weekly EMDR sessions
• Half-day EMDR intensives
• Full-day EMDR intensives

Get in Touch

Who EMDR is especially helpful for?

EMDR can be helpful for many different challenges, but it is particularly effective for anyone who feels stuck in patterns they cannot shift emotionally.

It may be especially helpful if you recognise yourself in any of the following areas:

  • You feel successful on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, overthinking or self-doubt
  • You know certain experiences from the past still affect how you think, feel or react today
  • You find yourself repeatedly triggered by situations at work or in relationships
  • You carry persistent negative beliefs about yourself (such as “I’m not good enough” or “I’m not safe”)
  • You feel emotionally overwhelmed or shut down in certain situations
  • You’ve tried talking therapies but still feel the emotional charge hasn’t fully shifted
  • You want to resolve the root of the issue rather than simply manage the symptoms

Frequently asked questions

What issues can EMDR help with?

EMDR is widely used for:

• Trauma and PTSD
• Complex trauma (C-PTSD)
• Anxiety and panic
• Distressing memories
• Negative core beliefs
• Phobias and fears
• Burnout and chronic stress
• Performance blocks and self-confidence

Many clients also find EMDR helpful when they feel “stuck” in patterns they intellectually understand but cannot emotionally shift.

Is EMDR safe?

Yes. EMDR is a well-researched and internationally recognised therapy recommended by organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the NHS for trauma treatment.

Sessions are carefully structured to ensure clients remain grounded and supported throughout the process.

What happens in an EMDR session?

We begin by identifying a memory, belief, feeling or experience(s) that continues to cause distress.

Through guided bilateral stimulation, the brain begins to reprocess the memory while the therapist helps maintain emotional safety and regulation.

As processing unfolds, the emotional intensity reduces in the body and the brain naturally integrates new insights, perspectives and beliefs.

Many people who have spent prior years in talking therapy describe EMDR as finally feeling “free” from experiences or emotions that once felt overwhelming.
