Traditional EMDR Therapy is a structured, integrative psychotherapy developed to treat trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It involves a unique process that combines bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements, auditory cues, or tactile taps—with focused attention on distressing memories. This method helps the brain reprocess traumatic events, reducing the emotional charge associated with them and paving the way for healthier coping strategies.

At Human First, we offer comprehensive Online Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy designed to help you process traumatic experiences and foster lasting emotional healing. Our service brings the time-tested benefits of traditional, in-person EMDR therapy to a secure, online environment, ensuring you receive high-quality, evidence-based treatment wherever you are.

We have adapted the proven principles of traditional EMDR therapy into an innovative online format. Our Online Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy service is designed to deliver the same effective treatment in a way that is convenient, flexible, and accessible—especially for those in regional areas.

During your online EMDR session, your therapist will gently guide you through bilateral stimulation techniques, such as visual cues or alternating audio tones — all adapted for the online format. These techniques are similar to those used in traditional in-person EMDR and are just as effective when delivered via telehealth.

Together, you’ll focus on specific distressing memories or emotions in a safe, controlled environment, always at your pace. You won’t be asked to relive traumatic events in detail — instead, the process supports your brain to reprocess those memories, reducing their emotional charge and helping you feel more grounded.

Each session is tailored to your needs and includes:

• Time to check in and regulate your nervous system

• Gentle guidance through EMDR phases, including bilateral stimulation

• Techniques to stay present, safe and in control throughout

• Support to close the session with calm and stability

The goal is not to erase the past, but to help you feel less overwhelmed by it, and to build healthier coping mechanisms for the future. Many clients describe feeling lighter, more resilient, and more at peace after EMDR — even when done online.
