I will soon be offering EMDR as well as counselling and supervision EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma or distressing memories. Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR focuses on reducing the emotional charge associated with traumatic memories, facilitating better mental health outcomes. The therapy involves eight distinct phases, with the core process involving bilateral stimulation (often in the form of guided eye movements) while the client recalls distressing memories. This dual task — remembering the trauma while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation — is thought to help the brain process the trauma in a way that reduces its emotional intensity. If you're interested in EMDR, please keep an eye on my website and directory listings as I will be accepting clients from the end of June 2025.
