What Is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal and rebuild their lives following symptoms of emotional distress.

It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. There are many studies that show that by using EMDR therapy people can heal quickly from the emotional pain that may have taken years to recover.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommend EMDR as the evidence based treatment of choice when working with trauma.

There is also growing evidence and research to suggest EMDR is also successful in treating anxiety, phobias, depression, self esteem, relationship difficulties and OCD.

EMDR has a specific structure, and a therapist will work through several stages in treatment to support you. EMDR is suitable for children and adults.
