EMDR Intensives in Somerset & Online Across the UK

Focused, extended EMDR sessions 
Multi-day package for £1,250. 

You push through. You adapt. You perform.

 

You may have spent years coping, adapting and getting on with things. You may have a demanding life and find it hard to fit weekly therapy around everything you're responsible for. Or you may prefer protected time to focus on a particular issue rather than opening something difficult for 50 minutes and then returning straight to your day.

​

An EMDR intensive is a longer, more concentrated format. It isn't about rushing, or processing as much as possible in the shortest time. It's about enough protected space for assessment, preparation, processing and reflection, tailored to your circumstances and goals. It isn't right for everyone, and we'll explore suitability during assessment.

What is an EMDR Intensive and Why Choose This Over Weekly Therapy? 

 

An EMDR Intensive is a longer, focused therapy session designed to give you dedicated time to work on specific experiences, memories or patterns.

Rather than working in weekly 50-minute sessions, an intensive allows for more concentrated therapeutic work within a shorter period.

 

It may suit you if you:

  • Have a specific experience you want to work on

  • Feel stuck in weekly therapy

  • Have limited availability

  • Prefer a focused, structured approach

  • Want dedicated time for therapeutic work

 

An intensive isn’t about doing more therapy. It’s about creating a format that fits your needs, capacity and circumstances.


Who it Suits
 

Adults who:

  • Appear successful and capable but feel overwhelmed underneath

  • Struggle with anxiety, perfectionism or burnout, or find it hard to switch off

  • Have experienced trauma, attachment wounds or emotionally difficult life events

  • Are highly independent and find it hard to ask for support

  • Prefer a focused, structured approach, or have limited time for weekly sessions

 

Choosing an intensive isn't about being in crisis. It's about readiness and stability.

Frequently Asked Questions About EMDR Intensives

1. What is an EMDR intensive? A focused, extended therapy format that gives you dedicated time to work on specific memories, experiences or patterns, rather than weekly 50-minute sessions.

2. How is it different from weekly therapy? Extended, protected time for processing and integration means you can stay with the work without pausing just as important material begins to emerge.

3. Can an intensive help with childhood trauma, perfectionism and people-pleasing? Often, yes. EMDR is widely used to process childhood experiences that affect confidence, relationships and anxiety in adulthood. Perfectionism, over-responsibility and people-pleasing can develop as ways of coping with earlier experiences, and EMDR can help process what drives them.

4. Can it help with burnout? If burnout is linked to chronic stress, anxiety, perfectionism or unresolved experiences, an intensive can help address the deeper factors behind your exhaustion, rather than only managing symptoms.

5. Is online EMDR effective? Research and clinical experience suggest it can be, when delivered using secure technology designed for EMDR.

6. How do I know if I'm ready? Readiness isn't about being in crisis. It's about recognising experiences or patterns you'd like to address and feeling motivated to do focused work. We'll explore this together at assessment.

7. Will I feel overwhelmed during or after? EMDR is carefully paced. Preparation is a key part of the process and we make sure you have resources and strategies in place before processing begins. The work can feel emotionally significant, but the aim is not to overwhelm you.

8. What happens afterwards? We review your progress and discuss recommendations for ongoing support. Some clients feel they've met their goals, while others continue with further therapy.

PAYMENT & CANCELLATION POLICY FOR EMDR INTENSIVES EMDR intensives require a significant commitment of clinical time, preparation, and scheduling. As such, the following payment and cancellation terms apply: Payment Schedule A fee of £250 for the 1.5 hour assessment appointment is payable at least two weeks in advance of the scheduled assessment session. Following the assessment session, and if we agree to proceed with the intensive, the fee of £1000 for the three intensive 2.5 hour sessions is payable at least two weeks in advance of the first intensive session date. Intensive session dates will only be confirmed once this payment has been received. Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy Due to the nature of EMDR intensives and the difficulty in reallocating extended blocks of clinical time, a strict cancellation policy applies: Cancellations made with less than two weeks’ notice are non-refundable. Requests to reschedule sessions with less than two weeks’ notice may be considered at my discretion, but cannot be guaranteed. When booking an intensive, I reserve a dedicated block of time and pause my regular weekly clinic. This means that late cancellations often result in clinical time that cannot be reassigned. Fees therefore reflect not only the scheduled sessions, but also the preparation and the commitment of this protected time.
