Will CBT or EMDR be effective for me
CBT and EMDR have both been found to be highly effective therapies. They are particularly effective for people with:
- Depression
- Low self esteem
- Perfectionism
- OCD
- Panic attacks
- Worry
- Stress

If you feel you are struggling with any of the above symptoms, you may benefit from a course of therapy.
How many sessions will I need
The number of sessions required is individual to the person. An average treatment episode can range between 6-16 sessions.
What happens in therapy
The process of therapy moves through four main stages. Assessment, treatment planning, treatment and then planning for the end of therapy.
When we complete your assessment we will discuss your ongoing difficulties, life events that may have triggered this, any past treatment you have had and your goals.
In the treatment planning stage we will work together to understand your symptoms and what has caused them. We will then agree on what work we need to engage in to help you feel better.
What is covered in the treatment part of therapy is individual to you. However, no matter what work we cover we will spend time discussing your key issues and developing techniques to manage these.
When we come to the end of your sessions we will spend time discussing how you can plan for your future and maintain the progress and changes you have made.
