EMDR

EMDR was originally developed in the 1980’s by American Psychologist Francine Shapiro and today is used to treat a wide range of issues.

EMDR is recognised and recommended by both the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) & The World Health Organisation (WHO).

There are three Main Stages of Sleep… Light Sleep, Deep Sleep and REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement). It is during REM sleep that the Brain processes and in simple terms, gets everything in order. Unfortunately, some memories are inadequately processed, and this is where EMDR can help.

By utilising Bilateral stimulation, we can replicate this important REM sleep whilst you are awake.

Many therapists may use their fingers or tapping to induce this Bilateral stimulation and whilst this is absolutely fine, we want our clients to have the very best, so we have chosen to invest in the latest, dedicated equipment.

EMDR follows a simple four stage process.

PLEASE NOTE – EMDR is not a talking therapy so it’s particularly good if you have something very private to deal with that you would rather discuss or not talk about, EMDR works on treating feeling and emotions so is very confidential.
