EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy used to help the brain process distressing memories and reduce the emotional “charge” that can keep you stuck in anxiety, trauma responses, nightmares, or triggers. EMDR sessions typically begin with a careful assessment and preparation phase to ensure you feel safe and resourced, followed by guided reprocessing using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) while you briefly focus on specific memories, thoughts, and body sensations. You remain in control throughout, and each session ends with stabilisation and grounding. EMDR can be helpful for single-incident trauma as well as more complex histories, and we will be clear with you from the outset about suitability, pacing, and realistic expectations.
