Healing from trauma, stress, and unresolved experiences

At The Counselling House, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy provides an evidence-based approach to help individuals process traumatic events, reduce distressing symptoms, and build resilience. EMDR is effective for PTSD, anxiety, phobias, grief, and other emotional challenges.


What We Offer

Our EMDR Therapy program is designed to help clients:

  • Process traumatic memories and experiences safely
  • Reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or phobias
  • Improve emotional regulation and resilience
  • Enhance overall mental health and coping strategies

EMDR allows you to reprocess difficult memories, reducing their emotional impact and helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.”


Our Approach

EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy that uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, or sounds) to help the brain reprocess distressing experiences. At The Counselling House, EMDR is integrated with other therapeutic approaches as needed:

  • Trauma-Focused Therapy – Addressing the root causes of emotional distress
  • Cognitive Behavioral Techniques (CBT) – Supporting thought restructuring and coping
  • Mindfulness & Emotional Regulation – Building awareness and calm throughout the process
  • Supportive Counselling – Ensuring safety, grounding, and therapeutic guidance

Sessions are customized to each client, delivered in-person or online, and paced according to individual needs and readiness.
