EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy is a proven, evidence-based and transformational trauma treatment. At Kove – a London-based specialist EMDR clinic – we deliver effective therapy nationwide. Our team focuses on complex trauma (cPTSD), including early relational traumas that shape identity, relational patterns, and anxiety conditions in adulthood.

Traditional talk therapies are highly valuable but may not always address the subconscious processes driving deeper psychological difficulties. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements or tapping – to engage subconscious processing, releasing trauma and reprogramming the nervous system for lasting emotional change.

Kove offers an advanced online EMDR programme, using the latest remote bilateral stimulation technologies. This service provides effective, flexible, and affordable therapy in the privacy of your home, delivering the same transformative results as our central London clinic—giving national access to highly specialised EMDR therapists and our trauma focused clinic.

How online EMDR works

Online EMDR utilises the same core principles that drive Kove’s in-person advanced EMDR process. This is an 8-phase protocol towards processing key memories with an experienced trauma therapist – combining eye movements, auditory stimulation, or tactile pulsation via online technology.

Privacy is key – and if you do not have confidential space at home, it may be best to join us in-clinic for appointments. However, secure video platforms and effective results mean that Kove’s remote version of EMDR, delivered at lower cost, may be your best cost-effective solution for deep treatment of trauma.

One of the key mechanisms within EMDR generally is emotional and somatic activation, felt by you, and attuned to and mirrored by a receptive trauma therapist. This relational and activated process is played out online in the exact same way as in-person sessions, and with sufficient emotional safety felt in your EMDR therapy relationship, we can unlock the nervous system’s natural healing and processing systems that drive transformational change.

By gently stimulating the brain’s natural processing functions, EMDR helps individuals release the negative emotions and beliefs associated with dysfunctional life experiences, enabling us to move forward with greater freedom, peace of mind, and reaffirmed self-concept.

FAQ’s

No special equipment is required. You’ll need a private, quiet space, a stable internet connection, and a device (computer or tablet) with a camera and microphone. Your therapist may also guide you through simple physical movements or tapping.

1. History Taking: In this initial stage, the therapist gathers information about the client’s personal history and the specific issues they want to work on.

2. Preparation: The therapist establishes a therapeutic relationship, explains the EMDR process, and helps the client develop coping skills for emotional regulation.

3. Assessment: The therapist identifies target memories and the negative beliefs associated with them, setting the focus for EMDR processing.

4. Desensitization: During this phase, clients process distressing memories using bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), reducing their emotional charge.

5. Installation: Positive beliefs and self-assurances are “installed” to replace the negative beliefs related to the traumatic memories.

6. Body Scan: Any residual physical tension or distress is addressed, ensuring the entire experience is processed and integrated.

7. Closure: The therapist helps the client return to a state of emotional stability at the end of each session.

8. Reevaluation: In this final stage, the therapist reviews the progress made, ensuring that all aspects of the issue have been adequately addressed and processed.

The number of sessions varies depending on the person and the complexity of the issue. Some people feel relief after a few sessions, while others may need longer-term support. Your therapist will discuss this with you and tailor a plan accordingly.
