What exactly is EMDR?

It is a therapeutic approach that uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, sounds or taps) to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories. It is endorsed by the WHO and international clinical guidelines for post-traumatic stress disorder.

What is it indicated for?

Mainly for trauma and post-traumatic stress, but also for grief, phobias, anxiety, panic attacks and adverse childhood experiences.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the type of trauma. A single trauma may need few sessions; multiple or early experiences require a longer process. We assess this with you in the first session.

Is it effective online?

Yes. EMDR can be delivered online with results comparable to in-person sessions, adapting the bilateral stimulation.

EMDR therapy for trauma

“There's something I went through that still affects me as if it were yesterday.”

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic approach endorsed by the WHO for the treatment of trauma. It helps process disturbing memories and experiences that have become «stuck», reducing their emotional charge so they stop shaping your present.
