WHAT IS EMDR
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It's an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process memories and experiences that have become stuck — replaying as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, or a persistent sense that something is wrong.
Unlike traditional talking therapy, EMDR doesn't require you to describe traumatic events in detail. Instead it works by activating the brain's natural processing system — using bilateral stimulation (typically guided eye movements) to help memories move from a raw, distressing state into something that feels resolved and in the past.
EMDR is recommended by both the NHS and the World Health Organisation as a treatment for PTSD and trauma. It's one of the most researched therapies available.

WHAT EMDR CAN HELP WITH
EMDR is effective for a wide range of difficulties, not just single-event trauma. I work with adults of all backgrounds on:
-
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD
-
Single-event trauma — accidents, assaults, medical trauma
-
Childhood trauma and adverse early experiences
-
Attachment trauma and relational difficulties
-
Low self-worth and deeply held limiting beliefs
-
Socially inflicted trauma — bullying, discrimination, exclusion
-
Grief and loss
-
Recent distressing events — relationship breakdown, crisis
-
Stuckness — patterns you can't seem to shift
I have specialist experience delivering EMDR with neurodivergent clients — including Autistic adults, people who are ADHD and AuDHD — and have completed specific training in adapting EMDR for this client group. If you are neurodivergent and considering EMDR, please do mention this when we speak.
MY APPROACH
I trained in EMDR to Levels 1–4 and have completed additional specialist training in attachment-informed EMDR and EMDR integrated with Internal Family Systems (IFS). This means I can work with complex presentations — not just straightforward single-event trauma, but layered, relational and developmental trauma too.
I also offer additional trauma approaches for situations where standard EMDR may not be the right fit:
EMDR
Levels 1–4 trained. Attachment-informed and IFS-integrated. Adapted for neurodivergent clients. For complex, relational and developmental trauma.
FLASH THERAPY
Predictive Processing Flash Therapy — for highly distressing memories. You remain calm throughout. Ideal for those who found other trauma therapies too activating.
REWIND TECHNIQUE
Trained by Dr David Muss, founder of the technique. IARTT registered practitioner. ~90% success rate. Processes memories without reliving them in detail
MY APPROACH
EMDR isn't something that happens in one session. We will always begin with preparation — making sure you feel safe, resourced and ready before any processing begins. For some people this takes several sessions, and that's completely normal.

NEURODIVERGENCE & TRAUMA
"Many neurodivergent people carry significant trauma — not from a single dramatic event, but from a lifetime of not fitting in, of being misunderstood, of masking in order to survive."
This kind of cumulative, socially inflicted trauma is real, it is significant, and it responds well to treatment.If you are autistic, ADHD or AuDHD and considering EMDR, it is important to work with a therapist who understands how neurodivergence affects trauma processing.
I have completed specific training in EMDR for neurodivergent clients and bring my own lived experience as an autistic person to this work. You will not need to mask, explain yourself, or translate your experience into neurotypical terms.
