Trauma can deeply affect an individual’s mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing, often leaving long-lasting effects that make daily life challenging. One common consequence of trauma is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which occurs when a person struggles to process and recover from a distressing event; leading to intrusive memories, intense emotional responses, and heightened anxiety. At Bridges Therapy Centre, we offer specialised trauma therapy in London, including the highly effective EMDR Therapy, to support individuals in overcoming the impacts of trauma and rediscovering a sense of balance and wellbeing.
Symptoms of PTSD may include:
- Flashbacks or vivid memories of the traumatic event.
- Nightmares and sleep disturbances.
- Avoidance of reminders of the trauma.
- Feeling constantly on edge or easily startled (hypervigilance).
- Emotional numbness or detachment from others.
Not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD, but when it occurs, it can significantly interfere with daily functioning. Understanding that every experience of trauma is unique, we tailor our therapy to suit your individual needs, helping you find relief and regain control of your life.

EMDR Therapy for Trauma
At Bridges Therapy Centre, we provide a compassionate and supportive environment where you can address your trauma with the guidance of experienced therapists. One of our key approaches is EMDR Therapy, also known as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. EMDR helps individuals reprocess distressing memories and alleviate the intense emotions associated with trauma. Through bilateral stimulation techniques, such as eye movements, hand tapping, or audio cues, EMDR enables your brain to heal naturally by re-establishing blocked processing mechanisms.
Trauma Therapy London
We believe in creating a therapy plan designed specifically for your journey to recovery. Whether trauma has resulted from a single event or ongoing experiences, our therapies help address both its immediate and long-term effects. In addition to EMDR, we also offer a range of other evidence-based therapies to address your personal needs. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which can help you develop new coping strategies, challenge negative thought patterns, and improve emotional resilience.
