Therapy for Trauma in Weybridge – Gentle, Effective EMDR
Trauma therapy is about restoring your sense of safety from the inside out. In my Weybridge practice, I offer a grounded, compassionate approach that combines EMDR with somatic work so relief isn’t temporary—it’s embodied. We go slowly, keep choice at the centre and honour the ways your system protected you.
We begin by stabilising your nervous system. Grounding through the senses, orienting to safety and simple breath patterns help your body learn that it can settle. As somatic awareness grows, we track where protection lives—tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, a hollow stomach—and respond with care, not pressure. When you feel ready, we incorporate bilateral stimulation to process pivotal moments and the beliefs that formed around them.
Processing is titrated and collaborative. We pause often, check in and keep the work inside your window of tolerance. Between sessions, you’ll practise small routines that reinforce change: short resets after stress, boundary reminders and gentle movement that supports rest. Over time, many people notice less startle, better sleep and a kinder inner voice.
Therapy for trauma is available in person in Weybridge and online across the UK. My intention is to provide a reliable, respectful space where you can heal at your pace and build a life that feels wider, safer and more your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does trauma-focused EMDR look like with you?
We stabilise first with grounding and resourcing, then process memories using bilateral stimulation in small, supported steps that keep you within tolerance.
Q2. Will we work with the body as well as the mind?
Yes. Somatic awareness is central—tracking sensation, posture and breath so your system learns it no longer needs to brace as it once did.
Q3. Can I switch between online and in-person sessions?
Yes. Many clients blend Weybridge appointments with online work to maintain momentum around life commitments.
