Have you heard Prince Harry talking about EMDR therapy and wondered what it is? Are you aware that you experience PTSD or have experienced other trauma that you want to work through and heard about EMDR? EMDR is recognised by the World Health Organisation and many other national and international organizations as an effective treatment for trauma-related symptoms and it is supported by a large body of research.

EMDR is one of the four treatment pillars of Jen’s private practice. “I have seen EMDR reduce the distress from a traumatic incident from a 10/10 to a 0/10 in just 80 minutes.”
