EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy for Trauma and Adverse Life Experiences​

Are you struggling with the effects of trauma, whether from a single event or from more ongoing, difficult experiences?

​

I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy to support people in processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact.

 

EMDR is suitable for a wide range of difficulties, including:

​​

  • Single-incident trauma (e.g. accidents, assaults, medical experiences, sudden loss)

  • Repeated or ongoing trauma (e.g. childhood neglect, abuse, bullying, relationship trauma)

  • Depression, Anxiety, phobias, or panic linked to past (and future) fears / experiences

  • Distress connected to grief, shame, or low self-worth.

 

Sessions are available online and in-person in Solihull (B94).

What is EMDR?​

​

EMDR helps the brain “unstick” and reprocess distressing memories that are keeping you emotionally stuck. It does this using guided sets of bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping), while you briefly recall the event in a safe and supported way.

 

EMDR is recommended by the NHS, WHO, and NICE for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms.

What Clients Often Notice After EMDR

​

While everyone’s journey is unique, many clients report positive shifts after engaging in EMDR. These can include:

 

  • Relief from distressing symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts

  • A sense of being more present, with less intensity around past memories

  • Feeling less “stuck” in old patterns or emotional responses

  • Increased confidence and ability to cope with everyday challenges

  • Greater self-compassion, resilience, or a clearer sense of perspective

 

EMDR isn’t about erasing memories — it’s about reducing their emotional charge so they no longer dominate your life. Many people find this creates more space for healing, growth, and living with greater ease.

Who Is EMDR For?

​

EMDR can be helpful for people experiencing:

 

  • A recent or past single-incident traumatic experience (e.g. accident, assault, sudden loss)

  • Flashbacks, nightmares, or emotional distress connected to one or more events

  • Anxiety, phobias, or avoidance behaviours linked to trauma

  • Ongoing difficulties rooted in childhood experiences, neglect, or abuse

  • The emotional impact of repeated or complex trauma, including relationship or attachment wounds

 

Whether your difficulties stem from one clear event or a series of experiences over time, EMDR offers a structured, evidence-based way of processing and healing.

EMDR FAQ

 

How are EMDR sessions priced?

EMDR therapy sessions are £80 for 90 minutes. This specialist, research‑backed approach helps you process and resolve distressing experiences. Sessions are longer than standard therapy so we can work through the full process at a comfortable pace, without rushing, helping you feel safe, supported, and able to focus fully on your healing.​

​

Is EMDR emotionally intense?

EMDR can bring up strong emotions during advanced processing as you briefly revisit a distressing memory, but you are always in control of the process. We go at your pace, and the early sessions focus on building trust, developing coping strategies, and ensuring you feel grounded and safe. Many clients say that while advanced processing can feel intense at times, it is also freeing and empowering.

​

What if I’m unsure whether EMDR is right for me?

That’s completely okay as EMDR isn’t right for everyone, and part of our work together is to explore that. In your free consultation, we can talk about what you’re experiencing, answer your questions, and look at what kind of support might suit you best. If EMDR isn’t the right fit, I can still offer other therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs.

​

Do I need to talk about all the details of my trauma?

No. One of the strengths of EMDR is that you don’t have to share every detail of what happened if you don’t want to. Unlike some therapies that rely on talking through your experiences in depth, EMDR works by helping your brain process the memory itself, not the story. You only need to give enough information so I can guide the process safely — and you remain in control of how much you share. Many people find this reassuring, especially if their experiences are difficult to put into words.

​

Can EMDR be done online as well as in person?

Yes. EMDR can be highly effective both online and in person. For online sessions, I use secure video conferencing along with adapted bilateral stimulation methods, such as eye‑movement tracking on screen or alternating audio tones. In‑person EMDR uses a light bar, hand‑held pulsers, or other in‑room equipment. Whichever format you choose, we’ll ensure the process feels safe, comfortable, and well‑paced for you.
