IS EMDR THERAPY EFFECTIVE?
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
I first started using EMDR therapy with clients about eight years ago and it's my go-to tool for big emotions that are disturbing a clients sense of well-being. It gets results and I highly recommend it having watched so many of my clients heal quickly. The great thing about it - it's trackable and you can see the good results within three sessions.
​
When you have a big negative feeling such as grief, trauma, sadness, or feelings of worthlessness, EMDR can help to neutralise those feeling very quickly. I use it for memories of bullying, abuse, death of loved ones, phobias, heart-break, accidents, or any memories where the negative emotion runs high. EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful psychotherapy tool originally used to treat PTSD and trauma and developed for returned soldiers.

EMDR therapy is fast-working. It reprocesses the emotional flooding associated with traumatic memories so you can think or talk about the event with a more neutral emotional response. Clinical evidence shows that 100% of single-trauma clients no longer meet PTSD criteria after just six EMDR sessions—a compelling answer for those asking, “Is EMDR therapy effective for trauma and PTSD?”
​
During an EMDR for trauma session, you’re asked to recall a disturbing memory while following repetitive eye movements that stimulate both sides of the brain. Many of my clients report that after a few sessions, the emotional charge of the memory drops significantly—often going from a distress level of 10/10 to 2 or even 0. I usually work somatically at the same time, having the client work through the feelings in their body. Often there can be very strong past feelings in the body that we move out.
​
Many people are unaware they have PTSD, or don’t realize how deeply trauma still affects them. EMDR allows you to focus in a way no other therapy does and in doing so you can often recall forgotten memories and have profound and healing insights.
​
While talk therapy has its benefits, it can take years—and in some cases, repeatedly telling your story may be re-traumatizing. EMDR therapy takes a more physiological and integrative approach, often producing life-changing results in a much shorter time frame.
​
If you're dealing with unprocessed trauma, unresolved grief, or a divorce, EMDR therapy could be the tool that helps you move forward.'

EMDR REVIEWS
​
After being bullied out of my job I had lost my self-esteem. Diana did EMDR with me and I have to say it made a huge difference. It's amazing how fast it works. Diana is very warm and supportive and I enjoyed working with her. Thank you.

Diana really gets to the heart of change quickly and directly. I loved working with her. EMDR meant I could clear my Dad's illness and all the memories I had as a child around this. It was profound and helped my depression.

Diana is a very empathetic therapist and I felt comfortable with her. EMDR was the only thing that really helped my grief after a split-up.
