Every experience of trauma is unique. Services are shaped around the individual history, needs, and pace of each client — with scientific evidence, clinical expertise, and human presence.
Processing traumatic experiences with EMDR helps the brain release frozen memories — whether dealing with a single traumatic event or chronic, repeated trauma.
An individual participant data meta-analysis of 15 randomised clinical trials (Wright et al., 2024) confirmed that EMDR produces equivalent clinical outcomes to the most effective psychotherapies for PTSD — Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) — in both symptom reduction and remission rates. A systematic review of 29 RCTs (Morris et al., British Journal of Psychology, 2025) further demonstrated that EMDR is the most cost-effective intervention for PTSD compared to 10 other treatments, including CBT.

Processing memories that "freeze" and resurface as flashbacks, nightmares or physical reactions.
Rooted in early caregiving relationships that were not safe. Left deep patterns in relationships and self-image.
Trauma of absence — growing up without emotional responsiveness, validation, or a sense that you mattered.
Chronic experiences of abuse, violence or disruption in the early years that shape the entire system.
A specialised approach with safety and respect for the client's pace. Detailed narration is not required.
Road accidents, natural disasters, sudden losses or violence that left unprocessed traces in the nervous system.
Childbirth, pregnancy loss and grief often leave deep traces that are not adequately recognised by the social environment. EMDR provides a safe space to process these experiences at your own pace.
Pregnancy losses and traumatic birth experiences are often not recognised as trauma — yet they leave traces that can affect future pregnancies, the relationship with a newborn and psychological wellbeing for years.
Bydlowski & Raoul-Duval — Perinatal psychology & trauma
A birth that did not go as expected — emergency caesarean, acute medical interventions, a sense of loss of control or helplessness. EMDR processes the trauma and restores a sense of safety.
A loss not always mourned publicly, but experienced profoundly. EMDR helps you process the painful event with respect for its significance.
One of the most silent traumas. EMDR provides support through the grieving process when no one else seems to understand.
Death leaves a void. EMDR helps you process the grief, particularly when the death was sudden, violent or brought complex emotions.
Depression is often linked to unprocessed experiences of shame, rejection or loss. EMDR works on the deeper roots — allowing more lasting relief than symptom management alone.
A meta-analysis of 25 randomised clinical trials (1,042 participants) found that EMDR produces a significant reduction in depression symptoms with an effect size of Hedges' g = 0.75 — greater than many pharmacological treatments.
Valiente-Gómez et al. (2024) — EMDR for Depression Meta-Analysis, MDPI
Processing the unresolved experiences that fuel negative self-talk and hopelessness.
Deep beliefs of inadequacy imprinted by early experiences of rejection or criticism.
EMDR targets the memories that created these heavy emotions and supports internal restructuring.
Intense reactions that seem disproportionate — because they often belong to the past, not the present.
Repeated harmful behaviours — EMDR identifies the unprocessed experiences that fuel them.
EMDR helps you reconnect with inner resources of strength that have been covered over by trauma.
The work environment and the pressures of everyday life can leave deep psychological traces. EMDR helps you break free from stress patterns and regain confidence and inner balance.
Workplace bullying and occupational stress are not simply "difficulties at work" — they can leave traumatic memories that are activated long afterwards. EMDR identifies and processes these experiences at their root.
Application of EMDR to occupational stress & professional trauma
Systematic abuse in the workplace that leaves trauma equivalent to PTSD. EMDR processes the trauma and restores a sense of worth and safety.
When exhaustion has reached its limit. EMDR helps you process the experiences that led there and reconnect with inner resources.
Fear of failure, perfectionism and inability to perform under pressure. EMDR identifies the beliefs fuelling this anxiety and releases them.
Constant pressure to be "good enough". Often rooted in childhood experiences of conditional acceptance. EMDR works on the beliefs at their core.
Behind a difficult relationship with food and the body there are often deeper traumatic experiences. EMDR does not focus on food — it focuses on the roots.

improvement in body image & self-esteem
EMDR targets the memories and beliefs associated with control, worth through appearance and intense fear of weight — without focusing exclusively on eating habits.
Cycles of binge eating and compensatory behaviours often begin as a coping mechanism. EMDR processes the unresolved experiences that fuel this cycle.
The emotions that are "swallowed" through food have deep roots. EMDR helps you develop healthier strategies for processing these emotions.
Body dysmorphia, chronic dieting, emotional eating and negative self-image — EMDR identifies the experiences that created them.
Anxiety is not weakness — it is a brain that has learned to react as if there is danger, even when there is none. EMDR identifies the experiences that "taught" this response and processes them at the root.
Unlike simple symptom management, EMDR targets the unprocessed memories and beliefs that fuel anxiety. Clinical studies show significant reduction in generalised anxiety and panic attacks with EMDR — often in fewer sessions than CBT.

Persistent worry about many areas of life that prevents rest. EMDR identifies the unprocessed experiences keeping the nervous system in a state of alarm.
Sudden episodic attacks of intense fear with physical symptoms — a sense that "something terrible is happening". EMDR processes the memories fuelling these reactions.
Intense fear of separation from loved ones or safe spaces. Often rooted in early experiences of abandonment or loss.
The paralysing fear of uncertainty and waiting. Exams, medical results, professional decisions — EMDR releases the brain from this pattern.
Persistent fear of illness that is not relieved by clear results. EMDR works on the deeper experiences of mortality and control that fuel it.
When anxiety "speaks" through the body — stomach complaints, palpitations, muscle tension, insomnia. EMDR also works on the physical dimension of anxiety.
During a panic attack, the amygdala activates the survival response — as if there is immediate danger. The brain does not distinguish between real and imagined threat. EMDR processes the memories that "taught" the brain to react this way.
Rather than teaching crisis management techniques (which work but do not heal), EMDR identifies and processes the deeper experiences that keep the nervous system in a state of hyperarousal — reducing the frequency and intensity of attacks.
Specific phobias are not "irrational" fear — they are the response of a brain that has associated a situation with danger. EMDR identifies and processes the root of this association, often in just a few sessions.
Learn more →EMDR for specific phobias does not require prolonged exposure or detailed description. Processing the original memory that "taught" the brain the fear is sufficient to dissolve the phobic response.
Shapiro (2018) — EMDR therapy for specific phobias
One of the most common restrictions in adults. EMDR processes both the original trauma and the cycle of fear–avoidance–dread.
Fear of heights may be traced to a specific experience or may be diffuse. EMDR helps distinguish between rational caution and paralysing fear.
Often arises after an accident that remained unprocessed. EMDR addresses the trauma at the root — not only the avoidance behaviour.
Fear of enclosed spaces, lifts or crowded places that seriously restricts freedom of movement.
Fear of needles, dentists, hospitals or examinations. Often linked to a previous traumatic medical experience.
Fear of evaluation, judgement or rejection. EMDR works on the beliefs of inadequacy that fuel social avoidance.
A diagnosis of cancer or serious illness is not only a medical experience — it is a profoundly traumatic psychological experience. EMDR provides specialised support at every stage of illness and recovery.

improvement in quality of life during and after treatment
The shock of diagnosis, fear of death and uncertainty about the future can be paralysing. EMDR helps with stabilisation and processing the trauma of the announcement.
Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery leave psychological traces. EMDR reduces anxiety around medical procedures and helps the body cope better.
The "end" of oncological treatment often brings new anxieties: fear of recurrence, change of identity. EMDR helps with reintegration into daily life.
Illness touches the entire family system. EMDR also supports carers experiencing secondary trauma, exhaustion and grief.
Group EMDR therapy offers something unique: the experience of healing within a safe, accepting environment — where the presence of others becomes a source of strength.
Learn more →The sense that you are not alone in your experience is itself therapeutic. In group EMDR, members process shared experiences in parallel — with a structured therapeutic protocol that ensures safety and effectiveness.
Luber M. (2009) — EMDR Scripted Protocols: Group EMDR
A structured therapeutic group using EMDR protocols specifically designed for a group setting. Closed group of up to 8 participants, with a specific focus for each cycle.
Individuals with shared experiences of trauma, anxiety, loss or eating disorders who benefit from a sense of community and mutual understanding.
Reduced sense of isolation, mutual support, new perspectives and group processing guided by a trained EMDR therapist.
A rare opportunity to dedicate several consecutive days exclusively to your therapy — away from everyday pressures, in a calm and safe environment.
The research literature confirms that intensive EMDR therapy produces equivalent or better results compared to weekly therapy — in a fraction of the time. The retreat allows deeper processing through continuity.
Intensive EMDR — Lehnung et al. (2017) & Rodenburg et al. (2009)
2–5 days of intensive EMDR therapy in a small group or individually, combining therapeutic sessions, somatic awareness and time for rest and integration.
Continuity and depth allow processing that would otherwise take months. Without daily interruptions, the brain can work at a deeper level.
For individuals who want intensive work on a specific issue, or those who find it difficult to maintain a weekly therapeutic rhythm due to time or distance.
Designed for individuals living abroad, visiting Greece for a short period, or needing faster and more intensive therapeutic progress within limited time.
In studies of intensive EMDR therapy for veterans with PTSD, increased session frequency was not only tolerated but produced faster clinical improvement — without increased side effects. The brain continues processing between sessions.
Intensive EMDR research — Ehlers et al. & Marcus et al. controlled trials
Living in another country and visiting Greece? EMDR Intense allows you to do meaningful therapeutic work in 1–3 weeks of stay, with online continuation after your return.
During periods of crisis, grief or acute stress, increased session frequency allows faster stabilisation — without losing time waiting.
The intensive in-person phase continues with regular online sessions — ideal for individuals outside Greece who want uninterrupted therapeutic support.
Intensive EMDR has been studied in veterans and complex PTSD. Results show equivalent or better progress compared to weekly therapy — in far less time.
