What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy used to help the brain process overwhelming or traumatic experiences that can feel "stuck" in the nervous system.
EMDR is used to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD, anxiety disorders, phobias, chronic pain, addiction and attachment or developmental trauma. It works with images, thoughts, feelings and body sensations, using bilateral stimulation (for example, eye movements or tapping) to help the brain reprocess difficult experiences more adaptively.
EMDR has evolved far beyond its original form. Today, intensive programmes, digital tools, ketamine-assisted EMDR and approaches for pain, depression and neurodivergence are expanding what's possible in healing—supporting faster progress and more personalised care.
EMDR isn’t a one-size-fits-all protocol. Depending on your needs, it can be adapted into focused intensives, combined with body-based approaches like breathwork, delivered in group formats, or supported with newer digital tools — always paced carefully and tailored to your nervous system.

EMDR is a specialised therapy — and the quality of training and accreditation matters more than most people realise.
Because EMDR is highly specialised, it’s important to work with a fully Accredited EMDR Association UK & Ireland / EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner. Some psychologists or counsellors may have attended brief workshops and then use elements of EMDR alongside other approaches. While often well-intentioned, this selective use may not deliver the full benefits of EMDR — and can sometimes limit progress.
Why accreditation matters
Accredited practitioners have completed formal EMDR training, meet ongoing supervision requirements, and follow a structured clinical approach — including careful pacing, preparation, and safety.
Who can benefit from EMDR therapy?
EMDR therapy helps children and adults of all ages. It can be adapted to different stages of life and used alongside other evidence-based approaches.
Therapists use EMDR therapy to address a wide range of challenges, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD, childhood and developmental trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, chronic illness and medical issues, depression and bipolar disorders, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, grief and loss.
EMDR can be particularly helpful where people feel stuck in patterns of fear, shame, hyper-vigilance or emotional numbness that have not fully shifted with talk therapy alone.
Treatment is collaborative and carefully paced, paying close attention to your nervous system, daily life and existing sources of support.
