Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach used to help people process and recover from trauma, distressing life experiences, and deeply rooted emotional difficulties.
At Counselling With Care we offer professional EMDR therapy in a safe, confidential, and supportive environment.
EMDR therapy can support adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:
During EMDR sessions, you will be guided to briefly focus on distressing memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation.
This helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they are stored in a healthier way, reducing their emotional intensity and impact.
You remain fully in control throughout the process, and therapy is always adapted to your pace and emotional safety.
Your EMDR therapy journey begins with an initial consultation where we explore your history, current difficulties, and goals for therapy.
Before any trauma processing begins, we focus on preparation and stabilisation techniques to ensure you feel grounded and supported.
Sessions typically last 50–60 minutes, and the number of sessions varies depending on individual needs and goals.
We understand that discussing difficult experiences can feel overwhelming. EMDR therapy is delivered in a calm, supportive, and trauma-informed way.
Your emotional safety, comfort, and control are always the priority throughout the process.
