Transformative EMDR Testimonials: Stories of Trauma Recovery

“My EMDR sessions with Rachael helped me re-wire my beliefs around past events and to understand them from a different perspective. This allowed space for me to create a deeper understanding of self and tackle my current life concerns. I would highly recommend Rachael’s EMDR sessions.”

“After 40 years of carrying trauma, I reached out to Rachel not having had any previous experience in EMDR or trauma therapy. At first, I was very nervous, however Rachel was so calm and responsive to my nervousness at the first appointment, I found myself being able to relax.”

“There was nothing too much or too little; there was just space to explore. Rachael welcomes everything - and she speaks from lived experience; you are not alone in this experience. She has helped give voice to the little girl inside me that is kicking & screaming.”

“Rachael embodies her work; she practices what she brings into sessions; this truly creates a safe space. You’re working with someone who gets it, who’s on your team. I cannot recommend Rachael enough.”

“Over the past few years, I have worked with Rachael. In Rachael, I found a space that was safe, that was warm & that was inviting. Rachael held space for big emotions, and for the lighter, playful ones (we have them all!).”

“The EMDR has been life changing for me. It was at times very difficult to go back to the trauma, however I no longer hold it in my body or my mind, it is no longer a 'movie' that I replay frame by frame.”

“Rachel's way of guiding me through the process of trauma therapy and EMDR helped me greatly and gave me the confidence to continue.”

“I first saw Rachael as part of couples therapy after discovering my husband had an affair. Her calm and empathetic style made me comfortable to book some solo EMDR sessions with her to reprocess invasive thoughts and imagery. I was doubtful at the start to be honest as I didn’t understand how it could work. But it has been an incredible therapeutic approach for me as I was experiencing symptoms of PTSD and anxiety.”

“The intensive approach has also been helpful as the sessions can be quite intense so grouping them together and allowing more time has helped to create space for focus on the future and positive changes.”

“Rachael's thought-provoking insights helped me break patterns in ways I haven't experienced with other therapists. The intensive program allowed me to work through issues more quickly than periodic sessions, leading to profound breakthroughs. I highly recommend Rachael to anyone seeking deep healing and growth.”

“We are now more attuned to each other’s needs, more communicative, and more deeply connected than we have ever been.”
