EMDR client feedback

‘My time working with Amber has been life changing. I was hesitant to begin EMDR as I’m autistic and wasn’t sure whether it would work with my brain, but it’s safe to say our work has made the world of difference. I’ve gone from being in a state of constant heightened anxiety, triggered by so many things, to feeling far more at ease. I was able to do something I never dreamed I’d be able to again. I recognise the EMDR process as a very natural one, where benefits crop up without being pushed, it felt as though my body was working in harmony with EMDR. Amber is a kind, considerate, thoughtful person to work with who listened to my needs and did what she could to make me feel comfortable, as well as tweaked sessions to focus more on the parts that needed work. I really can’t recommend EMDR with Amber enough, thanks to her I have more of my life back’.

Working with Amber on resolving trauma I believed to be engrained in me has changed my life. When we first started out, I had no hope that we could unravel the string and help me find my feet, especially since I had the added stress of only recently discovering I was autistic. Yet even when I was at my most hopeless, with Amber’s gentle guidance and EMDR-supported sessions, I was slowly able to understand why I felt the way I did, and how to move on. She helped me unlock something that previous therapists have failed to do, and I believe that it has been her multifaceted approach that has helped me reach this point. She is often dropping little gems in our session, stories from other people, ideas from other psychology’s avenues. The little things make big differences, and I am finally in a place where I feel like I can accept who I am, and become the person I was meant to be. I could not recommend Amber enough to anyone who knows the feeling of holding onto years of childhood pain and confusion that they do not deserve to keep carrying. And as weird as it sounds, I will miss our sessions. But there will be someone else who needs as much help as I did all those months ago, and won’t realise their lives are about to change when they come across this comment and decide to drop an email’

‘When I came to Amber I had already been in therapy for 6 years and I had trauma that I thought was unshift-able. Due to trust issues I was skeptical of EMDR, but as Amber is so easy to trust, I was able to give it a go, feeling safely held in a warm and non-judgemental environment. Her experience with Autism and dissociation made 'complex concepts' simple to get to grips with. She tailored the therapy to my needs, while recognising when I was stuck to unstick me. Her experience in 'vagal theory' and 'internal family structures' helped answer my questions and made me more comfortable with the quirks of my brain, so I could stop judging myself for "problems" that were just the normal way my autistic brain works and reach acceptance and allow my mind to relax’
