What is EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) integrates elements of many effective psychotherapies in structured protocols that are designed to maximize treatment effects. These include psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, interpersonal, experiential, and body-centered therapies. EMDR is an information processing therapy and uses an eight phase, three prong approach

During EMDR the client attends to past and present experiences in brief sequential doses while simultaneously focusing on an external stimulus. Then the client is instructed to let new material become the focus of the next set of dual attention. This sequence of dual attention and personal association is repeated many times in the session.

My Training

I undertook my EMDR Training through EMDR Training & Consultancy Ltd who are recognised by the EMDR Association UK and Ireland (the official body representing EMDR in the UK) and also by EMDR Europe (the body governing training standards throughout Europe). 

"I wanted to thank you again for helping me to make life so much easier to cope with on a daily basis. I have been to three other therapists in the last 20 years, none of which made a difference to my adult life after the post traumatic stress I have suffered. The cloud has lifted and the sunshine is pouring through again."
