Anyone who has experienced trauma at some point in their lives and is either experiencing symptoms of PTSD, and / or issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, problems with maintaining healthy relationships. 

• Understand how the trauma has impacted on you

• Re-process traumatic memories in a safe way to reduce the effect of distressing memories
• Come to terms with what happened

Following a telephone consultation, if it is agreed that you would benefit from trauma-focused therapy, you will complete assessments to get a good overview of exactly how your symptoms are impacting on your daily life. We will arrange regular sessions. 

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy, proven to be effective in treatingPTSD. It is now used to treat a range of issues. You can find out more about EMDR here. 

Anyone experiencing PTSD symptoms, and a range of issues, such as: phobias, anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms (e.g. IBS)

Rewind Trauma Therapy has been developed from NLP and used to treat PTSD symptoms, offering a way of stopping involuntary recall, and bringing trauma memories under control. 

Rewind Trauma Therapy can help you if you are experiencing PTSD symptoms and / or phobia due to trauma, and you are in either of these categories:

• Survivor of a traumatic / life-threatening event, e.g. accident, assault, line of duty  - armed forces and emergency service personnel
• Witness of a traumatic event
• Responder to the scene, post event, e.g. emergency service worker
• A person who hears about the traumatic event and imagines what occured
• Professionals experiencing vicarious trauma through hearing about it, such as: social workers, counsellors & psychotherapists, doctors, etc.
• The perpetrator of the traumatic event, e.g. driver who unintentionally caused an accident

• No requirement to talk through the traumatic event, ensuring privacy and reducing the risk of retraumatisation
• No requirement to disclose sensitive information about the event (e.g. armed forces personnel / frontline workers etc.)
• Usually just 1 - 2 sessions required per traumatic event 
• Can be stand alone treatment, or included as part of a programme of counselling

The session will last between 30 - 50 minutes and will include: an assessment to find out the severity of your symptoms, information to help you understand why you are experiencing involuntary trauma memory recall, followed by the Rewind Trauma Therapy.

A second, follow up session will be booked where you will be reassessed, and if needed, further Rewind Trauma Therapy.

Sessions cost £52 for one hour sessions, and £78 for 90 minutes. It is recommended that EMDR sessions are booked for 90 minutes.
