EMDR is the shorthand name for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy.  It is a form of therapy that focuses on reprocessing traumatic memories while stimulating both sides of the brain through eye movements or tapping.

EVIDENCE FOR EMDR

While it may sound strange, EMDR has a lot of evidence backing it. EMDR is recommended as a trauma treatment by the World Health Organization, American Psychological Association, and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.

You can find even more research into EMDR's effectiveness on the EMDR International website.

EMDR IN SHEFFIELD

There are a few clinicians who do EMDR in Sheffield, including the NHS. If you are not interested in navigating the waitlist for NHS care, private EMDR therapy in Sheffield is a great option. 

​

EMDR is a specialist training and can only be offered by those who are accredited by a professional body and have completed the required training and supervision. 

 

I am currently an EMDR therapist in training (July 2024).
