Questions
What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy using bilateral stimulation to treat trauma and PTSD. This NICE-recommended approach helps reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact through guided eye movements combined with cognitive techniques.
How do I start therapy?
Contact via phone, email or social media for an initial 10-15 minute consultation. Following assessment, your first session will include paperwork and initial discussion. Sessions then continue weekly at our Antrim Town premises or online for eligible clients.
Do you treat children?
We offer youth counselling for ages 11+. Initial assessments involve parents with optional ongoing parental involvement. Our trauma-informed approach combines EMDR, CBT and creative techniques to address anxiety, self-esteem and trauma-related issues in young clients.
Is online therapy available?
Yes, we provide EMDR therapy online to NHS clients across England through Xyla Digital Therapies. Private online sessions may be available based on individual suitability assessment. Telephone counselling remains available for all clients.
What happens in a counselling session?
Sessions typically last one hour, combining therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs. Initial sessions include paperwork and treatment planning. Subsequent sessions focus on processing trauma, developing coping strategies and building emotional resilience using evidence-based techniques within a safe, confidential environment.
How effective is trauma therapy?
Trauma therapy effectiveness varies but EMDR shows 70-90% success rates for single-incident trauma. Our integrative approach combines proven methods with neuroplasticity principles to create sustainable change. Regular progress reviews ensure treatment plans remain effective and appropriately adjusted.
