Psychological therapy, tailored to you

Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is an evidence-based intervention that can be used to treat a range of difficulties including PTSD, anxiety, OCD, trauma and depression.

Sometimes events occur in our lives that cause us to feel overwhelmed or powerless. These might be one-off events or repeated events that occur over a longer period of time.

When this happens our brain might not be able to process the memory in the usual way. We can find that the thoughts, feelings or physical sensations felt at the time of the disturbing event are easily triggered in the here and now, causing considerable distress.

Positive outcomes are often rapid and you do not have to spend a lot of time talking about the trauma

EMDR is an evidence-based intervention that uses the brain’s natural healing mechanisms to reprocess the memory. The distressing memory loses its intensity and becomes a memory that no longer causes distress in the here and now.

Your Psychologist will help you to safely recall the traumatic memory whilst following a moving light with your eyes. Positive outcomes are often rapid and you do not have to spend a lot of time talking about the trauma. You are in control and awake throughout and can stop at any point.

If you would like to find out more about EMDR and whether it might be helpful for you, contact us today at contact@brightsidepsychology.com.

This has changed my life totally.

For most of my life the OCD controlled me, but after working with Sophie I now control the OCD. This has changed my life totally. I’m far more at ease than I have ever been in my life. I can now ride the wave of OCD without feeling overwhelmed.

She is warm, trusting, genuine

Sophie has an extensive breadth of knowledge and clinical expertise which she brings to the supervisory relationship. She is warm, trusting, genuine and empathic and her supervisory style enables a safe supervision environment.

we can talk through and resolve any difficulties

After coming to see Sophie we are communicating so much better. We have a better understanding of our relationship values and we can talk through and resolve any difficulties before they escalate into an argument

I am so, so glad I visited Sophie.

I am so, so glad I visited Sophie. She was welcoming, sympathetic and got to the heart of my long-term problems in an unhurried but professional way. She gave me some excellent strategies for coping that I am still using.
