What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic memories.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR focuses on the brain’s natural ability to heal from distressing experiences. It involves guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help desensitise traumatic memories and reprocess them in a way that reduces their emotional impact.
EMDR has been extensively researched and proven to be highly effective in treating PTSD, anxiety, and other trauma-related conditions.
It helps individuals break free from the cycle of reliving traumatic memories, allowing them to move forward with a greater sense of peace and emotional balance.
How Our Trauma Counselling and EMDR Therapy Work
At Sigma Therapies, we use a combination of trauma counselling techniques, including EMDR, to create a personalised treatment plan that suits your needs. Our approach aims to:
- Provide Emotional Support: We offer a safe and compassionate space where you can share your experiences and feel heard without judgement.
- Process Traumatic Memories: Using EMDR and other therapeutic approaches, we help you process traumatic memories in a way that reduces their emotional intensity and allows for healing.
- Reduce Trauma-Related Symptoms: Our trauma counselling is designed to alleviate symptoms such as anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional overwhelm.

- Build Resilience and Coping Strategies: We work with you to develop healthy coping strategies and build emotional resilience, helping you manage triggers and stressors in your daily life.
Our Core Principles of Trauma Counselling
Our trauma counselling services are grounded in several key principles to ensure a safe, effective, and supportive therapeutic experience:
- Trauma-Informed Care: We approach each individual with sensitivity and understanding, recognising the impact that trauma can have on mental health and well-being. Our therapists are experienced in working with trauma survivors and provide compassionate, non-judgemental support.
- Safety and Stabilisation: Before diving into trauma processing, we focus on ensuring that you feel emotionally stable and safe in therapy. This includes building trust, developing coping skills, and creating a secure environment where you feel comfortable exploring difficult emotions.
- EMDR Therapy: EMDR is a core part of our trauma counselling approach. It helps desensitise and reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and enabling healing.
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Every person’s experience of trauma is unique. We tailor our counselling approach to suit your individual needs, helping you heal at your own pace.
