EMDR Therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy which helps people understand how their issues and symptoms developed based on the difficult or traumatic experiences they have endured.
In EMDR Therapy we work with your brain’s natural healing processes to activate old memories, and reprocess them – helping them feel less vivid, less distressing, and changing the thoughts and meaning attached to them. This therapy is different from typical therapies, in that we work directly with memories of difficult life events, and this is done in quite a structured and focused way.
EMDR has a strong evidence base in the treatment of PTSD, and a developing evidence base in treating a variety of other difficulties including depression, OCD, addiction, and borderline personality disorder.
