Spondon EMDR therapy — grounded, integrative, BACP-registered
EMDR therapy · Spondon · DE21If you're on the A52 corridor between Spondon and Derby, EMDR therapy is available either in-person at the Wilson Street clinic or online — whichever fits your week better.
Spondon is 3 miles from the clinic and close to Locko Park estate. Nearby areas including Allestree, Mickleover, Oakwood share the same service radius, and online sessions are available for weeks when travelling in is impractical.
For EMDR, the toolkit here spans 8-phase EMDR protocol, Flash technique, resource installation. Which combination is used depends entirely on what's presenting in the room — not on a fixed protocol pushed onto every client.

Before you get in touch
Can EMDR help with phobias?+
Working with Spondon clients, 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.
How does EMDR actually work?+
By pairing brief attention to a stuck memory with bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain reprocess the memory so it stops feeling live.
Will I feel exhausted after a session?+
Some clients feel tired for the rest of the day; most feel lighter within 24–48 hours.
Do you combine EMDR with hypnotherapy?+
Where useful, yes — hypnotherapy supports resource installation and integration between EMDR sessions.
How the work is delivered
- Step 1
Address the driver
Using 8-phase EMDR protocol and, where useful, Flash technique, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
- Step 2
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
- Step 3
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
