EMDR
THERAPY
EMDR is a therapeutic intervention endorsed by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the World Health Organization (WHO) for the effective treatment of unprocessed trauma. It uses specialist techniques to move memories which are stuck in the wrong part of the brain that activate our survival instincts of fight/flight/freeze. EMDR can help you with the effects of trauma, anxiety and phobias.

Art materials are used as another form of expression, a way of ‘getting things out’ alongside words. It can suit people who find talking difficult or prefer another way to express themselves. The work made is NEVER judged, graded or displayed to others. You don’t have to be good at art to do it – any scribbles are just great. You don’t need fancy art materials – a biro and a pad of note paper can work just as well as a full painting set! I also provide and guide you in accessible online art techniques which have proven to be powerful and popular tools.
