Further information

Eye Movement Desensitisation &  Reprocessing

Old disturbing memories and traumas can be stored in the brain in isolation; they get locked into the nervous system with the original images, sounds, thoughts and feelings involved, causing you to feel stuck in that place and unable to move forward or understand why you feel or behave the way you do. The old distressing material can be triggered periodically by new experiences which reactivates the feelings from the old locked away memory. This prevents learning/healing from taking place. In another part of your brain, you already have most of the information you need to resolve this problem, the two just cannot connect. Once EMDR starts, a linking takes place. New information can come to mind and resolve the old problems. This may be what happens spontaneously in REM or dream sleep when eye movements help to process unconscious material.
The overall aim of EMDR is to reprocess old disturbing memories/traumas so you can live your life more comfortably.
EMDR can be very effective when working with past traumatic events, phobia’s and anxiety.

Skype
I am happy to work with clients via Skype once we have established a therapeutic relationship over the course of three or four face to face meetings.
