I spent about six months working with Alexandra where she introduced me to EMDR and her workshops. I had been through a health issue, relationship breakdown and had a premature baby within a short space of time, which caused my mind to race to all sorts of places. She helped me work through the trauma, refocus on the now, change my outlook on things that I can and can’t control and look at life with a new perspective. She is extremely talented at what she does and I am forever grateful for discovering her!

Therapy duration
Each individual’s situation and circumstances are unique and the number of sessions required will vary on a person’s ability to engage in therapy, the complexity of their situation, their motivation and the impact of their surrounding environments. It is always important to make sure that a person is ready to engage in therapy to maximise their opportunities for psychological growth. An estimation of how many sessions are needed should be possible after the initial appointment although this will be reviewed regularly with the client depending on any change of circumstances. In general, between 5 to 10 sessions will be required which are usually offered weekly to beign with and as therapy progresses this can change to fortnightly or monthly. More sessions may be necessary where significant long standing traumas or attachment difficulties are identified.
Sometimes a one-off assessment is all that is required, for example, with children or young people. Completing a thorough psychological assessment and providing some psychoeducation to families is enough to empower them to make any necessary changes for future management of any difficulties experienced.
