EMDR at Harley Street

EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing — is one of the most thoroughly researched approaches to trauma treatment available. It is also, in the wrong hands or used without sufficient experience, a tool that can be used too quickly or too superficially. Philippe Jacquet has been working with EMDR for over 20 years and holds EMDR Europe accreditation at the highest level. That combination — depth of experience and the highest European qualification — is available at the Harley Street practice.

How EMDR is used here

EMDR at this practice is used within a broader therapeutic relationship — not as a standalone protocol or a brief intervention, but as part of depth-oriented integrative and Jungian work. The approach is attentive to pacing, to what the person is ready for, and to what the presenting difficulty is embedded in. For some people, EMDR becomes the primary focus of the work for a period. For others, it is one thread among several. In all cases, it is held within a clinical relationship that does not rush toward resolution but is interested in genuine change.

Presentations treated with EMDR at this practice include: complex and single-incident trauma; PTSD; anxiety and phobias; grief; addictive patterns rooted in unprocessed experience; and eating disorders where adverse early experience is part of the clinical picture. Sessions are available at Harley Street W1, Central London, and online.
