Connect 2 EMDR -

After 20 years of on off on off varying types of therapy. It was only when my marriage started to struggle due to so much un resolved childhood trauma, that EMDR was quickly recommended by out marriage guidance counsellor. I found Lauren by google & thank goodness i did. What i achieved with Laurens help is nothing short of a miracle. After 4 years of an estranged sibling relationship, i am now in contact.
Thank you so much for helping me find the missing jigsaw pieces & to throw away the miss matched pieces.
My husband now calls me New Delly.

I went to Lauren for EMDR therapy after developing a massive anxiety / fear about flying when I was 41 years old. Prior to that I’d always flown without a problem, looked forward to it and had travelled a lot. The EMDR therapy was so interesting as I thought the anxiety / fear had come out of nowhere for no reason but exploring the reasons behind this new fear was very interesting and I began to feel confident that i could fly happily again.

I completed a course of just 4 or 5 sessions and felt ready to fly again, I couldn’t even look at a plane in the sky or imagine flying without having a near panic attack and had some awful experiences flying over the last few years, but I’m writing this review in Lanzarote after taking a 4.5 hour flight with my husband and 2 of my children!!

I was a bit anxious before the flight, but I had nothing like the absolutely crippling anxiety/terror that I used to get before flying. I normally am completely unable to function before a flight, unable to even speak, feel sick, running to the toilet, heart racing etc (basically my fight or flight response!) but this time I was fine in the taxi to the airport, chatted to the taxi driver etc, we went
through security and I felt fine still (normally I’m an anxious wreck!) and then we sat and had a lovely breakfast in San Carlo and I enjoyed it! I wouldn’t even normally be able to eat because I’d feel
too sick with anxiety!

When we got on the plane I listened to my music and it kept me calm and I did brain training puzzles on my phone to keep my mind busy - I was a bit anxious but nothing I couldn’t handle!

About half way through the flight I realised that I was absolutely fine ? I even ordered a drink from the air hostess, got up and went to the toilet and spoke to my husband & kids - I haven’t been able to do any of that since I’ve had this anxiety and it felt amazing that I could just be normal again!!

I’m flying home tomorrow and feel absolutely fine about it, to say the EMDR therapy has been life changing sounds like an exaggeration but, for me, it really has been!

Thank you so much Lauren!

I've been seeing Lauren for the past few months to work on PTSD symptoms and I can't recommend her enough, she's none judgemental, reliable and she just gets it... She's extremely patient and she's always showed a willingness to work with you and come up with a plan that suits your needs. If you need someone to unpick your mental health and make sense of things, lauren is definitely your person. She's very down to earth and I really do recommend her. I'm so glad she's the person I worked with through all of this, I will definitely be coming back to her in the future if I need anything else.

I've had a number of EMDR sessions with Lauren now and find them really helpful. I suffer with depression and PTSD, EMDR is hands down the most effective therapy I have tried. Lauren is professional, knowledgeable and has lots of different techniques to help me cope with day to day life. THANKS LAUREN!
