 EMDR Intensive Therapy is a highly focused approach to therapy that brings multiple hours of EMDR work into a shorter timeframe. Instead of meeting for one hour per week, intensives involve extended sessions over two or three days. This allows time to settle into the work, reduce interruptions, and support deeper processing in a contained and supported way. Each intensive is individually planned and paced according to your needs. 

What Is EMDR? 

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured psychotherapy that supports the brain and nervous system to process experiences that feel “stuck”. Rather than repeatedly talking about the past, EMDR helps the brain integrate distressing experiences so they feel less overwhelming in the present. Many people notice reduced emotional reactivity, improved regulation, and a greater sense of ease after EMDR therapy. 

 Why Choose an EMDR Intensive? 

People choose EMDR Intensives for many reasons, including: 

• Feeling stuck or frustrated with the pace of weekly therapy 

• Wanting focused, uninterrupted time for therapeutic work 

• Limited availability due to work, travel, or caregiving 

• A preference for structured, time-limited support 

An intensive offers a different way of engaging in therapy — one that prioritizes focus, continuity, and support. 

What Does an EMDR Intensive Involve? 

An EMDR Intensive typically includes: 

• Careful preparation and assessment 

• Extended EMDR therapy sessions 

• Ongoing attention to safety, consent, and regulation 

• Time for integration and completion 

The structure and timing of each intensive are discussed and planned together, based on your needs and goals. 

 Who Are EMDR Intensives For? 

EMDR Intensives may be suitable for people who: 

• Have a clear issue or goal they would like to focus on 

• Are seeking a structured and supported therapy approach 

• Can commit to focused therapeutic work over a short period 

• Prefer continuity rather than weekly sessions 

When an EMDR Intensive May Not Be the Right Fit 

EMDR Intensives are not suitable for everyone. They may not be recommended if you are: 

• Currently in crisis or experiencing acute instability 

• Needing a slower or more gradual therapeutic pace 

• Requiring frequent ongoing support 

Suitability is always explored carefully before booking. 

The Discovery Call 

The first step is a Discovery Call. This is a brief conversation, usually done via video call, where we: 

• Talk about what brings you to therapy and explore your goals for this block of work 

• Answer questions about EMDR and intensive therapy 

• Consider whether this format is appropriate at this time 

The Discovery Call is not a therapy session — it is an opportunity to make an informed and supported decision.  You’re welcome to book a Discovery Call to explore whether an EMDR Intensive is right for you.
