Services
EMDR
Mary is an EMDR trained psychologist and offers face to face EMDR therapy services. The goal of EMDR Therapy is to process distressing memories and develop more adaptive ways of thinking, behaving and coping. EMDR changes the way the brain processes experiences and has been found to lead to profound and lasting changes.
Numerous studies have established that EMDR is an effective therapy for the treatment of PTSD and trauma. There is also emerging evidence for EMDR as a treatment for a number of issues that may have resulted from disturbing events in childhood or adulthood including anxiety, depression, phobias and addiction.
