🧠 EMDR Therapy for Children & Teenagers (Cork & Online Ireland/UK)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a gentle, evidence-based therapy that can also be used with children and teenagers to help them process difficult or distressing experiences.
It supports the brain in reprocessing memories in a safe and structured way, helping to reduce emotional distress and improve emotional regulation over time.
EMDR for children is always adapted to their age, pace, and emotional needs.
