Testimonials

“Difficult to explain how grateful I am for the treatment I received. I always felt safe and secure, during the sessions, my therapist was not judgemental, was understanding, and allowed me to talk freely. The method used, was of course new to me, but, through rapid eye movement it concentrated my thoughts and allowed to me to focus in what had been up to that point, put in a ‘box’ and, I thought, forgotten. I think it is a fantastic treatment and would whole heartedly recommend EMDR to anyone with issues they are not able to cope with themselves, whatever they may be.”
"Maureen formed an excellent professional relationship with me and engaged me in effective dialogues and continually reassured me throughout. The initial assessment and the delivery of my therapy were taken very seriously and Maureen took great care to ensure that it was relevant to me and that I understood each step of my journey. The therapy was very successful alongside the actual vivid exposure to the water and personally I would not have been at this stage if it had not been for the EMDR. After many years of being afraid of water I now have the confidence to swim and I have achieved this with an excellent, knowledgeable EMDR therapist, Maureen. My aqua phobia has been with me for a number of years and it was a very difficult decision for me to accept some therapy. As I was unaware of EMDR before meeting with Maureen understandably I was very skeptical. However, Maureen made my journey less difficult as she is clearly an effective therapist, guide, teacher and supporter." |
