Struggling with distressing memories or the after-effects of trauma? EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) can help reduce the vividness and emotional charge of those memories, often leading to clearer thinking and better daily functioning. At Pause for Counselling, our therapist is BACP-accredited and specially trained in EMDR, so you’ll receive expert, trauma-informed care within a compassionate, client-centred approach.

Curious about EMDR for trauma recovery? EMDR gently helps you process distressing memories by using guided bilateral stimulation so your brain can reframe what felt overwhelming — it’s different from talk therapy but can be used alongside it. It can suit people who feel stuck by past events, experience flashbacks or intense emotional reactions, or haven’t found relief through other approaches. At Pause for Counselling, I offer trauma-focused, client-centred EMDR delivered in-person in Aberdeen (23 Rubislaw Den North) and online across the UK. I am specially trained in EMDR trauma care, and I work at your pace so outcomes are realistic and recovery feels safe. Want to learn if EMDR could help you?

Feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone — and support is available. Here are common issues Pause for Counselling often helps and the signs to look for:

• PTSD: intrusive memories, flashbacks, jumpiness. Therapy helps you process trauma at your own pace and reduce triggers.
• Anxiety: racing thoughts, constant worry, sleep disruption. Therapy teaches tools to manage worry and calm the body.
• Depression: low mood, loss of interest, fatigue. Therapy helps rebuild routines, meaning and hope.
• Relationship distress: repeated conflict, withdrawal, hurting patterns. Therapy improves communication and repairs connection.

If you notice sleep changes, avoidance, intrusive memories or a sense that things aren’t working like they used to, consider reaching out. I offer online sessions across the UK and in-person appointments in Aberdeen (23 Rubislaw Den North). The trauma-informed, non-judgemental approach keeps your safety and pace at the centre.
