Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences.
Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR involves the use of guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess distressing memories.
This process helps reduce the emotional impact of these memories, allowing individuals to integrate them more adaptively.
EMDR has been extensively researched and is recognized as an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, phobias, and other psychological conditions.
Eating Disorder Treatment
Emily is experienced in working with young people with disordered eating within both community and acute inpatient settings.
Emily is most experienced in treating Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge eating disorder and EDNOS (with co-morbidities).
Emily draws upon multiple therapeutic frameworks dependent on the needs of the young person and family, including family-based therapy (FBT) and enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy (CBTe).
