Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Many people are surprised to learn that EMDR therapy can be just as effective online as it is in person. Through Zoom, we can successfully work with eye movements, tapping, or gentle sounds to guide the process, allowing your brain to reprocess and heal just as it would face-to-face. Clients often find that doing EMDR from the comfort of their own home helps them feel safer, more relaxed, and fully supported. You receive clear and easy guidance, a secure, private online space, and you can confidently experience the full benefits of EMDR therapy wherever you are.
Are you curious about online hypnotherapy?
This unique approach allows you to tap into the power of your subconscious mind, all from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Through gentle, guided relaxation, online hypnotherapy can help you address habits, manage stress, and build confidence—tailored specifically to your goals. It’s a safe, natural and effective way to create positive changes in your mindset and behaviour.
Online hypnotherapy and face-to-face hypnotherapy each offer unique benefits, making them effective for different needs and preferences. Online hypnotherapy provides the convenience of participating from the comfort of your home, saving travel time and costs. It can also create a more relaxed atmosphere, which can enhance the effectiveness of sessions, particularly for those with social anxiety or agoraphobia.
