EMDR Therapy in Croydon and Online Across the UK

Helping Your Brain Heal from Trauma, Anxiety & Emotional Overwhelm

If you’ve been through something difficult and feel stuck in the past — emotionally, mentally, or physically — EMDR therapy may help you move forward. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based approach designed to help your brain process painful or traumatic experiences in a safe and supported way.

 

What Is EMDR?

EMDR is different from traditional talk therapy. It uses gentle eye movements, tapping, or sound while you briefly recall difficult memories. This helps your brain reprocess the experience and release the emotional intensity associated with it.

There’s no need to go into full detail about what happened unless you want to — EMDR works by engaging your brain’s natural healing process, allowing the emotional pain to soften over time.

EMDR Can Help With:

  • PTSD and complex trauma
  • Childhood abuse or neglect
  • Panic attacks and phobias
  • Medical trauma or birth trauma
  • Anxiety and low self-worth
  • Flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional overwhelm
  • Traumatic grief and loss
  • Performance anxiety or creative blocks

Online EMDR Therapy

I also offer EMDR sessions online using secure video platforms. Online EMDR can be just as effective as in-person sessions and may suit you better if you:

  • Prefer therapy from the comfort of home
  • Live outside London or the Croydon area
  • Have limited mobility or energy
  • Need more flexibility around work or childcare

Whether online or face-to-face, I’ll guide you step by step through the EMDR process at a pace that feels right for you.

What to Expect from EMDR Therapy

Our first few sessions will focus on building trust, resourcing, and grounding techniques — so you feel safe and supported before we start memory processing.

You may notice over time:

  • Reduced emotional intensity around past events
  • Fewer day-to-day triggers
  • Improved sleep and confidence
  • A deeper sense of calm and clarity

EMDR for Children and Teenagers

EMDR is also suitable for children and young people. I tailor sessions to suit their age, attention span, and sensory needs — using drawing, storytelling, or play-based tools where helpful.

Children may benefit from EMDR when struggling with:

  • Trauma or neglect
  • Loss or bereavement
  • Bullying or anxiety
  • Neurodivergent overwhelm (e.g. autistic

Take the First Step Toward Healing

I offer EMDR in a highly tailored way, shaped around your individual needs and what feels most supportive for you. Sessions may include education about trauma and how the brain responds to stress, grounding techniques to reduce overwhelm, strategies for better sleep, and — when appropriate — the use of tools like a light bar or tactile buzzers to support bilateral stimulation.

If trauma, anxiety, or difficult memories are making life harder than it needs to be, EMDR can help you feel safer, calmer, and more connected. You don’t have to face it alone.
