FAQs about EMDR

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is an evidence based treatment used to treat trauma and other conditions.

Absolutely! EMDR has been proven effective both in-person and online. This was tested during the pandemic, when practitioners had no choice but to adapt EMDR to meet the needs to their clients.

Anyone who has a past trauma or upset that they have not recovered from.
