Face-to-face specialist EMDR therapy in a private practice in Notting Hill, London

​​What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy used to treat trauma and PTSD. It helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences so they feel less overwhelming over time and is recommended by organisations such as the NHS.
​
EMDR is a highly effective therapy, particularly for trauma, but also for anxiety, panic, and distressing life experiences. It works by helping the brain process memories that have become “stuck,” so they can be integrated in a way that no longer triggers the same emotional intensity.
​
In my work, EMDR is not used in isolation. I integrate it with relational and emotion-focused approaches, paying close attention to what is happening in the moment rather than only working with past events. This allows us to understand not just what happened, but how it continues to shape your emotional responses and relationships.
​​

What does an EMDR session look like?

During EMDR, you briefly focus on a distressing memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements). This supports the brain’s natural ability to process information, allowing the memory to shift and lose its emotional charge.
​
At the same time, we stay aware of your current experience—what you feel, think, and notice in your body. This creates the possibility to pause automatic reactions and begin to respond differently.

EMDR offers many powerful and creative ways to overcome trauma
