EMDR Therapy for Edgbaston
Clients travelling from Edgbaston attend EMDR therapy at Woodbrooke Centre, the practice's only in-person location, a short journey away on Bristol Road. Online EMDR is available across the UK for anyone who'd prefer not to travel at all.
A Short Journey From Edgbaston
There is no clinic in Edgbaston itself: Woodbrooke Centre, 1046 Bristol Road, Birmingham B29 6LJ, is the practice's only in-person address, and clients based in Edgbaston travel a short distance to reach it. For some clients that's simple; for others, the amount of travel involved is a genuine factor in deciding how treatment is structured, which is exactly why format is discussed at assessment rather than fixed in advance.
Weighing Up Individual EMDR Against an Intensive
For clients travelling from Edgbaston, the choice between treatment formats often comes down to how appointments fit around everyday life. Individual EMDR Therapy means regular 60- or 90-minute appointments, usually weekly or fortnightly: a recurring but modest commitment. An EMDR Intensive concentrates the same kind of clinical work into fewer, longer, consecutive days instead, which some clients prefer specifically because it reduces the number of separate journeys required.
Neither format is a lesser version of the other, and neither is chosen on travel alone: what matters clinically is discussed and agreed with you at assessment.
What EMDR Treats
EMDR is a structured, evidence-based treatment recognised as a first-line approach for PTSD, and is also used for complex trauma, childhood trauma, and distress connected to accidents or medical experiences. Treatment begins with a Comprehensive Psychological Needs & EMDR Suitability Assessment, which considers your history and current circumstances before any format is agreed.
In Person, or Online From Edgbaston
Face-to-face appointments take place at Woodbrooke Centre, 1046 Bristol Road, Birmingham B29 6LJ. If you'd rather not travel at all, online EMDR therapy is available across the UK where clinically appropriate, assessed on the same basis as in-person treatment.
