''EMDR has been life-changing. I absolutely love it.”

Hearing Lily Allen speak so openly about EMDR therapy on the Miss Me? The podcast is brilliant to see.

She shares how a recent session helped her explore her relationship with money and self-worth — a great reminder that EMDR isn’t just about big T trauma, but the beliefs and patterns that shape our daily lives.

The discussion is at 24:17-26:38 into the podcast.

We had the pleasure of working with a group of incredibly skilled, passionate and caring NHS psychological therapists and psychologists — people who show up every day to support others through some of life’s hardest moments.

Thank you for the warm welcome, thoughtful discussions and genuine engagement throughout the day. Spaces like Bethlem Museum of the Mind — such a meaningful and historic setting in the story of mental health care — filled with curiosity and compassion, are exactly why we love the work we do.

Looking forward to the next one 🤍

EMDR therapy continues to change lives.

A recent feature shares how EMDR has helped people process long-standing trauma and move forward after years of feeling stuck — a powerful reminder of why trauma-focused therapy matters.

It’s encouraging to see EMDR becoming more visible in mainstream conversations about mental health.
