Who Can Benefit from EMDR Intensives?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Intensives are designed for individuals seeking targeted and in-depth healing for a variety of issues. EMDR is a therapeutic approach primarily intended to help individuals who have experienced distressing or traumatic events. EMDR is recognized as effective for a range of psychological conditions and is often used to assist:
Trauma Survivors
EMDR is widely used to help individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma, including but not limited to physical abuse, sexual assault, accidents, and combat-related trauma.
Post-Traumatic Stress
EMDR is an evidence-based treatment for PTSD. It can assist those who have symptoms such as intrusive memories, nightmares, hypervigilance, and avoidance related to a traumatic event.
Anxiety and Panic
Individuals living with anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias can benefit from EMDR to address and alleviate the underlying causes of their distress.
Grief and Loss
EMDR can be helpful for individuals experiencing grief and loss, providing a structured approach to process and integrate difficult emotions associated with bereavement or traumatic grief.
Depression
While EMDR is not primarily designed to treat depression, it may be beneficial for individuals whose symptoms are linked to past traumatic experiences.
Performance Anxiety
EMDR has been explored in addressing performance anxiety, helping individuals overcome blocks or negative beliefs related to their performance in various areas of life.
These intensives are not about "fixing" you (you are not broken) but about understanding, releasing, and empowering you to embrace a new chapter of well-being.
In a safe and supportive space, EMDR Intensives guide you through the origins of your coping mechanisms, unveiling the roots of your experiences. By exploring how these strategies evolved and understanding their present impact, you are empowered to embark on a journey towards healing.

Psychotherapy or counselling is a form of mental health treatment that involves talking with a trained mental health professional. Therapy aims to help individuals address and overcome their emotional, behavioural, and mental health challenges.
In therapy, individuals work with a therapist to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences and to develop new ways of coping with difficulties and challenges. The therapist provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to share their experiences and helps them identify patterns of thinking and behaviour contributing to their problems.

I offer a range of different therapeutic approaches to help individuals meet their specific needs and goals. For example, I often use person-centred therapy, which emphasises the individual's own thoughts, feelings, and experiences and helps them to develop a sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance.
I incorporate mindfulness into therapy as it can help individuals to develop greater empathy and compassion for themselves and others. By becoming more aware of their thoughts and feelings, individuals can learn to respond to difficult experiences in a more compassionate and effective way and to approach their challenges with greater resilience and perspective.
I provide EMDR therapy that can be especially useful for individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma and who are looking for a way to process their experiences and reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Clients can avail of one-to-one and group therapy, depending on the individual's needs and preferences. I believe in a therapeutic relationship that is built on trust, respect, and empathy, which are essential for effective therapy, and I work hard to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and is a type of therapy that has been proven to be effective in reducing symptoms associated with trauma, such as anxiety and depression. EMDR therapy can be an effective way to help individuals who are dealing with the impact of trauma.
The therapy works by using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to help individuals access and process the memories and emotions that are associated with their traumatic experiences. This process can help to reduce the intensity of these memories, to improve the individual's ability to cope with the impact of their trauma, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
EMDR therapy can be a valuable addition to an individual's therapy plan and can be used in combination with other forms of therapy, such as mindfulness practices and person-centred therapy.
