✨ EMDR: gentle, grounded, and backed by the brain ✨
EMDR can feel surprisingly calm. You stay in the present, fully in control, while we work together to “unstick” emotional patterns linked to stress, trauma, overwhelm or long-standing anxiety.

Many clients say they feel clearer, less reactive and more settled as their system begins to integrate what they’ve been holding.
It’s not about re-traumatising yourself — it’s about helping the brain finish a job it couldn’t complete at the time. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to support the brain in processing memories safely, so the emotional charge softens and you can move forward without being pulled back.

If you’d like to know more about the process or whether EMDR might help with something specific, feel free to message me privately.

🌿 A gentle introduction to EMDR
Sometimes experiences get 'stuck' in the nervous system — not because we’re weak, but because our brain didn’t get the chance to fully process what happened at the time.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) works by helping the brain do what it naturally wants to do: process, make sense, and move on.

Using gentle, guided bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping), EMDR supports the brain to reprocess distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming and more in the past — where they belong.

People often notice:
Memories feel less intense
Emotional reactions soften
New insights or a sense of relief emerge
EMDR isn’t about reliving everything in detail or “forcing” change. It’s a collaborative, paced approach, always guided by what feels safe for you.

As I reflect on the past year, one of the best investments I’ve made in my practice has been training in EMDR.
And not just the basic training — I’ve really dedicated myself into developing my EMDR practice further. and have beeb working hard all year.
I offer attachment-informed EMDR, with additional training in IFS-informed, parts-based approaches that can be thoughtfully integrated where appropriate.
This can be particularly helpful for trauma, anxiety, panic, and more complex experiences — especially when talking alone hasn’t been enough.
The work is always gentle, relational, effective and led by the client.
Feel free to message me if you’d like to know more 💛

A helpful reminder for any parent. If your child can't tell you in words, they will often use their behaviour to let you know how they’re feeling. This might come out as anger.

Underneath these behaviours, a young person who seems very angry may also be feeling things like fear, stress, sadness, hurt or worry – or might be struggling to cope with a difficult experience at school, at home or in another part of their life that they feel unable to talk about.

It can be helpful to remember that a person who’s feeling angry a lot of the time probably isn’t feeling very happy – and while it might not be obvious, what they often need is support. Supporting children and young people to put their feelings into words can help them to feel less overwhelming, making it less likely that they will need to act out.
