EMDR Counselling

EMDR is an evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy designed to help you process and heal from difficult or overwhelming experiences.

EMDR is an evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy designed to help you process and heal from difficult or overwhelming experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, tapping, or sound—to help your brain reprocess distressing memories so they feel less triggering and more manageable.

EMDR can be helpful for a wide range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, phobias, grief, childhood experiences, and stress that feels “stuck” in the body. In sessions, your therapist will guide you gently and safely through each phase of the EMDR process, ensuring you feel supported, grounded, and in control.

If you’re looking for a structured, effective approach to healing past experiences and reducing emotional distress, EMDR may be a meaningful next step in your therapeutic journey.
