EDMR Therapy
EMDR Therapy - Your Path to Healing
EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an innovative and evidence-based approach to healing trauma and emotional distress.
Delivered by our experienced psychologist, EMDR Therapy helps individuals process and reframe traumatic experiences, reducing their emotional impact and PTSD symptoms.
​
It’s a powerful way to move forward with renewed strength and resilience, offering a transformative addition to your healing journey.
Understanding EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy is a structured therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR Therapy uses bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, taps, or sounds—to activate the brain’s natural healing process.
This approach enables the brain to reprocess traumatic memories, storing them more adaptively and diminishing their distressing effects.
As a complementary psychological treatment, EMDR Therapy supports your recovery by helping you regain control over intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and other trauma-related symptoms.
How Does EMDR Therapy Work?
EMDR Therapy follows an eight-phase protocol designed to process traumatic experiences in a safe and structured manner:
1. History Taking: Understanding your past experiences and identifying traumatic memories
​2. Preparation: Building trust and explaining the process to help you feel comfortable and informed
3. Assessment: Identifying distressing memories and their associated emotions.
4. Desensitisation: Using bilateral stimulation to reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories.
5. Installation: Reinforcing positive beliefs and feelings associated with the memory.
6. Body Scan: Checking for any lingering physical tension related to the trauma.
7. Closure: Ensuring emotional stability at the end of each session.
8. Re-evaluation: Assessing progress and identifying any remaining areas for healing.
EMDR Therapy is a thorough and comprehensive method for addressing trauma, fostering healing, and building long-term resilience.
Is EMDR Therapy For You?
EMDR Therapy sessions are tailored to your unique needs and paced according to your comfort level, ensuring a positive and empowering experience.
It’s normal to feel emotional during or after your sessions, as your mind works through past traumas.
As healing progresses you should experience a sense of relief, clarity, and increased emotional strength.
