EMDR Therapy for Bournville
Woodbrooke Centre sits just along Bristol Road from Bournville, on the Selly Oak/Bournville boundary. For most clients based in Bournville, that makes regular in-person EMDR therapy a genuinely easy commitment, alongside online sessions across the UK.
A Short, Manageable Journey
Bournville and Selly Oak share a boundary, and Woodbrooke Centre, 1046 Bristol Road, Birmingham B29 6LJ, sits right on it. That proximity matters most when treatment involves recurring visits rather than a single appointment: a weekly or fortnightly commitment is far easier to sustain when the journey itself isn't a burden.
This is the practice's only in-person address; there's no separate Bournville branch. What it offers Bournville-based clients specifically is a short, familiar trip along a road most people in the area already know well.
Choosing Individual EMDR for a Regular Commitment
Individual EMDR Therapy runs as regular 60- or 90-minute appointments, typically weekly or fortnightly. For clients coming from Bournville, the short journey is one practical reason this format works well: attending consistently doesn't require setting aside a large part of the day each time. This is a complete treatment pathway in its own right, not a lesser alternative to a concentrated format, and it's how most clients are seen.
Some clients prefer an EMDR Intensive instead, concentrating treatment into consecutive extended days rather than spreading it across weeks. Whether frequent short visits or fewer longer ones suit you better is a clinical and personal decision, discussed at assessment rather than assumed from where you live.
What EMDR Addresses
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based treatment for PTSD, and is also used for complex trauma, childhood trauma, and distress connected to accidents or medical experiences. Every client begins with a Comprehensive Psychological Needs & EMDR Suitability Assessment, which considers your history and goals before any treatment format, in-person or online, is agreed.
In Person or Online
Face-to-face appointments take place at Woodbrooke Centre, 1046 Bristol Road, Birmingham B29 6LJ. If in-person visits aren't practical for you, or you'd simply prefer not to travel, online EMDR therapy is available across the UK where clinically appropriate.
