Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful healing method that has helped an estimated half million people, adults, young people and children, relieve many troublesome symptoms resulting from TRAUMA. EMDR has also been applied to other problems including depression, anxiety, sexual abuse and phobias.

Evidence suggests that for many clients EMDR can significantly shorten the length of treatment and enhance results far beyond the scope of being involved in talking therapy alone. The reason for this is that emotional wounds are located in a more primitive part of the brain that are not accessible to language.

EMDR is a non-drug, non-hypnotic psychotherapy procedure. EMDR is not a single session `cure’. EMDR has an 8 phase treatment protocol.

Your EMDR Therapist will work with you in a safe and confidential way to track whatever comes to the surface until the negative aspects are neutralized. At the sessions conclusion, your Therapist would provide some resources that will leave you feeling in control and more empowered.

Manchester Centre for EMDR is a virtual online centre which provides onward contact with a qualified, experienced EMDR therapist located in Manchester, Liverpool or UK areas (for video based sessions). All therapists work as Independent EMDR therapists and are not employed by the centre (they are self-employed). The therapists adhere to appropriate Professional Bodies and have their own insurance. Please ask a therapist any questions you may have concerning their training or experience.

The Manchester Centre for EMDR currently provide online video based sessions (via for example Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp).

Sessions usually last for approximately 1 hour.

Meeting with an EMDR Therapist:

It is important that you feel safe and secure with your therapist. The first session is usually an opportunity to undertake an assessment of your current feelings and symptoms and allow time for you to ask any questions you may have about EMDR or your therapist. Payment arrangements for sessions will be discussed prior to your first assessment session.

TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH AN EMDR THERAPIST:

Please email us or Telephone: 0845 056 4432 and we will discuss your needs. You will not be asked to discuss in detail any problems when you enquire about accessing an independent EMDR therapist – however it is helpful to know if your current problems are related to a single incident of trauma (recent or in the past), or more complex trauma, other issues (for example anxiety/stress, depression, phobia etcetera) and whether you have received any formal medical diagnosis of your problems.
