EMDR stands for Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing.  It is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals reprocess and integrate distressing memories and experiences. 

EMDR therapy involves using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or tapping. This stimulation is thought to mimic the brain’s natural processing during REM sleep, helping to reduce the emotional charge associated with traumatic memories and allowing them to be unlocked and moved on to long term memory.

It can also be used to support various other areas, including, but not limited to:

• anxiety, panic attacks, phobias
• depression, bipolar disorders
• grief
• chronic illness, medical issues, pain
• eating disorders
• sexual assault, physical violence and abuse
• substance misuse and addiction 

BTR stands for Birth Trauma Resolution and is a psychotherapy technique developed in the UK specifically for perinatal trauma, utilising the Rewind Technique and strategies from the Human Givens model.  It can be described as closure without disclosure, meaning you don’t need to relive the traumatic experiences in detail, which can be beneficial.  

BTR therapy is a gentle, yet effective, solution focused intervention which combines an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help you process and rebuild following your traumatic experiences.

This therapy is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives (UK) and the Human Givens Institute of Psychotherapy; with it being widely used across the UK, Ireland and heading further afield. 

If you’re interested in BTR therapy and would like to know more, you’re welcome to get in touch with Emma to get some further information, including an outline of what each session involves.  

A “picking your brains” session is designed as a standalone appointment to support you with those “niggly” questions or to check that you’re on the right track. 

Whereas an initial consult is in-depth support for those more complex situations.  You receive a clear plan that we have developed together in session to experiment with and you can book follow up sessions with Emma for further support. 

In person sessions take place upstairs at

The Village, 30 Lincoln road in Ōtautahi Christchurch, in the Taha Whānau room on a Wednesday and Thursday.
