Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EDMR)

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It is a therapy used to help people recover from distressing events and the problems they have caused, like flashbacks, upsetting thoughts or images, depression or anxiety.

How we work

EMDR aims to help the brain “unstick” and reprocess the memory properly so that it is no longer so intense. It also helps to desensitise the person to the emotional impact of the memory, so that they can think about the event without experiencing such strong feelings.

EMDR is suitable for adults, young people and children.

You’ll get the best results from your therapy if you’re open and honest with your therapist and say how you’re really feeling.
