How the work is delivered
- Step 1
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
- Step 2
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.
- Step 3
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.

Questions people ask us
Can EMDR be done online?+
Working with Repton clients, Yes — remote EMDR is well-supported and I use it regularly with clients across the UK.
Is EMDR the same as tapping?+
No. Some tapping techniques share surface similarities, but EMDR uses a defined 8-phase protocol and specific processing steps.
Is EMDR effective for veterans?+
Yes — it is a core modality for ex-military and blue-light presentations.
Can EMDR help with phobias?+
Yes — especially phobias tied to a specific event or moment of first fear.
Can EMDR replace medication?+
Medication is a decision for your GP. EMDR sits alongside it, never in competition.
