About EMDR Intensives
What is an EMDR Intensive?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a leading, evidence-based therapy for trauma, anxiety, and PTSD. In an intensive format, sessions are condensed into focused, extended blocks—helping you process deep material efficiently and safely.
Instead of spreading therapy across months, Intensives harness momentum and continuity for rapid, meaningful change in a structured, supportive environment.

How it feels
Clients often describe the experience as intense, focused, and profoundly liberating—with ample breaks and aftercare to support integration.
Integrated approaches — mind & body synergy
Trauma lives in the body as much as in the mind. Optional modalities deepen processing and support long-term regulation.
Breathwork-integrated EMDR
Regulate the nervous system, release tension, and increase presence.
Trauma-focused yoga
Gentle movement to reconnect with the body and integrate emotional shifts.
Somatic resourcing & mindfulness
Track sensations, build resilience, and strengthen safety.
Sound / bilateral music therapy
Rhythmic stimulation to deepen EMDR effects and calm the body.
Optional partner service: Ketamine-assisted EMDR
In collaboration with medical partners, low-dose ketamine sessions may be combined with EMDR to support neuroplasticity and emotional flexibility (subject to suitability).
