Perhaps your doctor, friend or another health therapist has suggested you consider talking through your dilemma to help seek clarity to see your situation from a different perspective. If this sounds like you then you have come to the right place and I may be able to help you gain understanding of your situation. The symptoms you are experiencing are simply a sign something is wrong. Through collaboration I can help you.

I mainly use CBT as this really makes a difference in how you think, feel and behave, however, as a Counselling Psychologist, I have also undergone extensive training in other therapeutic approaches including EMDR and IFS.
Are you feeling stuck? Do you know something's wrong but you're not quite sure how to fix it? Perhaps you have a rough idea, but feel like you could benefit from some external, professional support to make sense of things and learn ways to manage certain situations, ways of thinking and / or unhelpful behaviours? You do not need to go through this alone.

EMDR Counsellors

Who is EMDR for?

EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?

People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?

First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?

First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
