EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is a highly effective and evidence-based treatment recommended by the NHS and World Health Organisation for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Here at Bridges Therapy Centre, we provide professional and compassionate EMDR therapy in London, helping individuals process past traumas and move forward with greater resilience.
Our team of experienced psychologists and therapists are trained in EMDR and work with clients across our London clinics in Hendon, Canary Wharf, Harley Street, and Muswell Hill. We also offer secure online EMDR sessions, making therapy accessible wherever you are.
What Can EMDR Therapy Help With?
While EMDR is best known for treating trauma and PTSD, it can also be highly effective for a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. Our EMDR therapists in London regularly support clients struggling with:
- Trauma and Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression
- Phobias and specific fears
- Panic attacks
- Low self-esteem and confidence issues
- Distressing memories or flashbacks
If you feel stuck in the past or find yourself avoiding places, people, or situations because of painful experiences, EMDR therapy London could help you break free from these patterns.
How Does EMDR Therapy in London Work?
During your EMDR sessions, one of our trained therapists will guide you through a safe, structured process to revisit traumatic or distressing memories. While you bring these memories to mind, your therapist will use bilateral stimulation techniques, such as eye movements, tapping, or sounds.
This process is thought to help the brain reprocess the memories, reducing their emotional intensity and allowing them to be stored in a healthier, less distressing way. Over time, many clients experience a significant reduction in symptoms and an increased sense of control over their lives.
