EMDR
Some experiences continue to affect us long after they’ve happened. They can show up as anxiety, overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, emotional reactions, or a sense of being stuck.
EMDR is a structured, trauma-informed approach that can help the mind and body process these experiences differently. This page explains how I work, what EMDR-informed practice can help with, and how we decide together whether it’s the right fit.
how the work unfolds
A first conversation
Free and unhurried. We get a feel for whether this is a fit, with no expectation after it.
Assessment & preparation
Two sessions: history-taking, grounding and stabilisation. No reprocessing yet.
Focused processing
Once there’s enough steadiness, we begin the EMDR-informed work itself, carefully.
Integration
Space to let things settle and make sense, at your pace.
sessions and fees
Everything begins with assessment and preparation. The reprocessing work follows only once there’s enough steadiness in place — so the way in is the same for everyone.

book a processing block →EMDR was originally developed to help people process traumatic experiences, but its application has expanded considerably over time. Depending on your circumstances, EMDR-informed work may be helpful for:
Experiences that still feel emotionally close, even years later.
Accidents, losses, medical events, relationship breakdowns, workplace incidents, or other experiences that continue to feel overwhelming.
Persistent worries, recurring thoughts, or situations where your mind feels stuck in a loop.
Patterns such as “I’m not good enough”, “I’m unsafe”, “I always fail”, or “something is wrong with me”.
Processing loss, attachment wounds, rejection, betrayal, and the emotional impact of significant relationships.
Fears that feel persistent, disproportionate, or limiting in everyday life.
Exploring experiences, beliefs, triggers, and emotional patterns that may sit beneath addictive behaviours.
Where difficult experiences, stress, or trauma may be contributing to ongoing physical distress.
Every person is different. Rather than fitting you into a protocol, we begin by understanding your experience and deciding together whether EMDR-informed work feels appropriate.
no need to be sure —
That’s what the first conversation is for — unhurried, free, and with no expectation after it.
