EMDR Therapy

Helping You Gently Process and Move Through Emotional Blocks with EMDR Therapy

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a gentle, evidence-based trauma therapy that supports your brain’s natural ability to heal from difficult memories, anxiety, PTSD, and overwhelming emotions. This proven therapy helps release the hold that painful experiences can have on your mind and body, so you can feel lighter, calmer, and more at peace.

How EMDR Therapy Works

During an EMDR therapy session, we’ll work together to focus on the memories or feelings causing distress. Using guided eye movements or other gentle bilateral stimulation, your brain is supported to process these experiences more fully — easing their emotional impact and helping you reconnect with your true self.

What to Expect in an EMDR Therapy Session

Each session lasts about 60 minutes, moving at a pace that feels right for you:

• We begin by discussing what you want to work on and ensuring you feel safe and comfortable.

• Then, you’ll focus on specific memories or feelings while following gentle eye movements or other stimuli.

• You remain in control throughout the process, and together we create a supportive space for healing.

• After sessions, you may notice shifts in how you relate to past experiences and emotions.

Who Can Benefit from EMDR Therapy?

EMDR therapy is best known for helping people process trauma, but it can support a wide range of emotional experiences — especially those that feel stuck in the body or mind, no matter how much you’ve talked them through.

It can be particularly helpful if you’re experiencing:

• Childhood trauma or complex PTSD

• Anxiety or panic attacks that don’t seem to shift

• Flashbacks, nightmares, or triggers from past events

• Deep-rooted negative beliefs like “I’m not safe” or “It was my fault”

• Low self-worth shaped by earlier experiences

• Emotional numbness, avoidance, or dissociation

• A sense of being blocked, stuck, or unable to move forward

You don’t need a specific diagnosis to benefit. If something from your past still feels alive in the present — whether it’s a big event or a subtle, persistent feeling — EMDR therapy can help you process it gently and safely.

EMDR is especially helpful if you:

• Have experienced trauma or distressing events

• Feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck with strong emotions

• Want to move past emotional blocks that counselling alone hasn’t fully resolved

Working with EMDR Therapy and Counselling

If you’re already working with me through counselling or coaching, EMDR therapy can be offered as a supportive, separate therapy to deepen your healing journey. You decide what feels right for you — whether that’s counselling, EMDR therapy, coaching, or a combination. EMDR sessions are priced separately.
