EMDR Can Help With….

Evidence-based EMDR support for trauma, anxiety, stress, and performance blocks.

Heal the Past, Restore Your Strength

Trauma can leave emotional scars that affect how you think, feel, and respond. EMDR therapy helps you safely process painful memories, release their emotional hold, and move forward.

Discover the Root, Find Freedom

Addiction often stems from unresolved trauma or emotional pain. EMDR therapy helps you heal the root causes, ease cravings, and regain lasting control.

Mental Performance, & Recovery

In sports, success depends not only on physical ability but also on mental resilience. Athletes often face challenges such as fear of failure, or the psychological toll of injury.

Success demands more than skill

It requires inner balance and the right mindset. EMDR therapy can help you overcome stress, self-doubt, and past setbacks to thrive.

Confident Mind, Fearless Performance

The spotlight can bring pressure as well as passion. EMDR therapy can help performers overcome anxiety, release self-doubt, and reconnect with creativity.

got questions? we’ve got answers.

The most common EMDR questions, explained clearly and simply.

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy widely used for trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress. It helps the brain reprocess difficult memories so they no longer trigger overwhelming reactions. Using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping or sounds), EMDR activates the brain’s natural healing processes, similar to REM sleep.

What issues can EMDR help with?

EMDR is effective for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, addiction, childhood trauma, grief, stress, and performance blocks. Many people also use EMDR to improve emotional regulation, confidence, and mental clarity.

Is EMDR right for me?

EMDR may be right for you if you’re experiencing distress linked to past events, negative beliefs, or emotional triggers you can’t shift. It is suitable for adults of all backgrounds and is a powerful therapy for both trauma recovery and improving wellbeing.

Do I have to talk about my trauma in detail during EMDR?

No. One of the advantages of EMDR therapy is that you do not need to retell your story in depth. You only share enough for your therapist to guide the process, making it suitable for people who struggle to talk about painful memories.

How many EMDR sessions will I need?

This varies depending on your history and goals. Some clients notice improvement within 6–12 sessions, while others benefit from longer treatment. At EMDR Therapy London, your therapist creates a personalised plan tailored to your needs.

What happens in an EMDR session?

Your therapist helps you identify the memories, emotions, and beliefs driving current distress. Bilateral stimulation is then used to help the brain reprocess these experiences. Many clients feel emotional release, shifts in perspective, or increased calm during and after sessions.

Is EMDR therapy safe?

Yes. EMDR is recognised by the NHS, WHO, and NICE as a safe and effective treatment for trauma and related conditions. When delivered by an experienced EMDR therapist, it is structured, controlled, and paced to ensure emotional safety.

Is EMDR therapy just for trauma?

No. While EMDR is best known for trauma treatment, it is also highly effective for anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, phobias, addiction, relationship patterns, and performance issues. Many clients use EMDR to overcome negative beliefs, build confidence, and improve emotional regulation – even without a trauma history.

What to expect after an EMDR session?

It’s common to notice continued processing, insights, dreams, or emotional shifts for a few days. This is normal and shows that the brain is integrating the work. Your therapist may provide grounding tools to support you between sessions.
