Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychological treatment method that was developed by an American clinical psychologist, Dr Francine Shapiro, in the 1980s.

Since then it has become more widely recognised and is now advocated by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence for people with a diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. 

However, it has also been used to help people with a range of other conditions such as anxiety, depression, phobias and complex grief.
