Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy best known for working with trauma and PTSD/CPTSD
How EMDR can help
EMDR works with difficult memories, emotions, beliefs and physical sensations to help process experiences that continue to affect you. People are often drawn to EMDR when they understand why they feel or react in a certain way, but find that talking and understanding alone have not shifted how the experience continues to affect them.
Trauma does not always come from one event. It can develop through experiences that happen repeatedly or over time, including childhood experiences, difficult relationships, abuse, discrimination, loss, medical experiences and other situations where you may have felt unsafe, powerless or overwhelmed.
Understanding Trauma
Sometimes trauma is emotional; sometimes it is experienced physically. You may find yourself constantly on alert, unable to switch off, overwhelmed, burnt out or disconnected. You might notice panic, avoidance, difficulties with sleep, food or other ways of coping, or physical reactions that can be difficult to understand.

Working at your pace
The work is individual to you. I work at a pace that feels manageable, and together we can think about what you would like to change and what might help you feel more grounded and settled in your life.
Taking the next step
If you're considering EMDR therapy, I offer a free initial consultation.
This gives us an opportunity to talk briefly about what has brought you to therapy, what you are looking for, and whether working together might feel right for you.
