Clients usually gain the most benefit from EMDR when sessions are attended on a weekly basis. I would encourage a commitment to at least 8 sessions to start with, as this will give a good feel as to if the technique suits your needs. With any form of counselling it’s hard to say how many sessions will be needed to resolve your issues. Complex presentations may require EMDR interspersed with
talking therapy on a longer-term basis to ensure a full resolution of all issues.
If you would prefer to work intensively for faster relief from your symptoms we can discuss a treatment plan that incorporates more than one session per week. Counselling and EMDR is a collaborative process, I work with clients to find a treatment plan that suits individual requirements and has the capacity to meet your goals for therapy.
All sessions are held online via video call. Telephone or audio only is not an option for EMDR.
If at any time you feel that EMDR is not for you, we can explore alternative therapy solutions and migrate across to a different modality. This will enable you to reach your therapy goals using a different pathway. If you would like a more in-depth overview of EMDR please take a look ‘
A Deep Dive into EMDR’ for a broader explanation of the themes touched upon above.
