EMDR Therapy

Trauma & EMDR Therapy in-Person and Online

Sometimes past experiences don’t stay in the past.

You might find yourself feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or reacting strongly to things that don’t seem to make sense. This can be a sign that something hasn’t fully been processed.

Trauma doesn’t always come from a single event — it can also develop over time through difficult or overwhelming experiences.

You might notice:

• Feeling constantly alert or anxious
• Intrusive thoughts or memories
• Emotional numbness or disconnection
• Strong reactions to certain situations
• Difficulty trusting or feeling safe

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and it’s something we can work through together.

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a therapy designed to help the brain process and integrate difficult experiences.

Rather than talking through things in detail every time, EMDR works more directly with how memories are stored in the brain.

This can help reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences, allowing them to feel more like something that happened in the past — rather than something that is still happening now.

How I work

I offer EMDR as part of an integrative approach, which means we will:

• Go at a pace that feels safe and manageable
• Build stability and coping strategies first
• Only move into deeper processing when you feel ready

There is no pressure to revisit anything before you’re ready.

In-person and online sessions

I offer:

• Face-to-face therapy in Denby Dale (near Holmfirth)
• Online EMDR sessions across the UK

Many clients travel from nearby areas including Holmfirth, Huddersfield, Barnsley and Leeds.

Starting therapy

Beginning trauma therapy can feel like a big step.

If you’re unsure, I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can talk through what you’re looking for and whether this approach feels right for you.
