How does EMDR work?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a proven psychotherapy technique that helps process trauma, reduce stress, and shift negative thought patterns into a more balanced, logical mindset. By stimulating new neural pathways, EMDR enables the brain to release fear, guilt, and emotional distress, allowing for greater clarity and resilience.
The symptoms of trauma
Unresolved trauma can manifest in various ways, including anxiety, anger, low self-worth, flashbacks, and difficulty sleeping or concentrating. Whether your distress stems from childhood experiences, sudden trauma, abuse, or prolonged stress, EMDR provides an effective way to process these memories and regain emotional control.
What to expect during a session
During EMDR sessions, you will recall distressing events while engaging in guided techniques, such as rapid eye movements, to help the brain reprocess and desensitise painful memories. Sessions often incorporate self-soothing strategies, like visualising a ‘safe place,’ ensuring a comfortable and supportive healing process. Treatment follows an 8-phase structured protocol, with most clients benefiting from 4–6 sessions, though additional sessions may be required for complex trauma.

"When I had my first session with Jen, I couldn't stop crying for most of the session. I have had a bad bike accident and my stress levels and depression were at its worse. Jen managed to calm me down and I finally felt some hope for myself after her session. After the second session, I finally tried walking outside again even though my broken toe was still quite sore. I continued working with EMDR and the positive effects are still with me to this day. I cannot believe how much my life and sense of self have changed thanks to EMDR and Jen amazing expertise. I no longer have nightmares or crowd anxiety, my PTSD from my past traumatic experiences is gone. I couldn't recommend Jen enough, this review doesn't give her justice. The world needs more people like her, I will be forever grateful."
