Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychological therapy that has been developed to address disturbances in mental health caused by traumatic and difficult life experiences.
EMDR is a therapy that can help you process and come to terms with traumatic incidents. Trauma can be caused by a single event – such as a road traffic accident or an assault - or by more complex problems, such as those that arise from childhood abuse or repeated events, like bullying.
EMDR therapy works on three elements; the past, the present and the future: Firstly, the bad memories that have led to the present day problems are resolved. The next phase is to work through and address present day difficulties. EMDR concludes by enabling the client to establish a preferred response to future challenges.
EMDR works in a cognitive, physiological and emotional way. This means that memories from early infancy can be addressed and resolved. Russell Wharton has undergone specialist training with Dr. Sandra Paulsen on working with very early childhood trauma.
EMDR is a versatile approach that can be used to address historic trauma and as a means of personal enhancement and self-development. When used correctly, EMDR is a potent psychological therapy.
Russell Wharton is accredited with EMDR Europe ensuring the professional standards and experience required to deliver this approach.

“I have been having some therapy sessions with Russell over the last 3 months. These have been online which have been a massive help to me as they allow you to manage a busy life as well as getting the support you need. The online sessions have worked just as well as they would face to face, and this is aided by Russell’s manner. He also uses white boards and other tools on screen which are excellent visual aids when needed. I would suggest to others not to feel limited to very local providers. The world has changed and seeing the right person is more important and feeling comfortable.”
Male client, 40s“I spoke with Russell via zoom for a couple of months and found the experience helped me tremendously. I was apprehensive to start with, but the platform, and Russell’s easy to talk to nature, made me feel at ease and I would recommend the sessions to anyone looking to take this decision”
Male client, 20s“For me, working online with Russell enables me to fit my sessions into my busy schedule. I have also found that I focus more on the therapy work, as I feel much less self-conscious than in person. I feel that this has produced a better result overall.”
Female client, 40s“Online therapy has been very beneficial for me. It has allowed me to get help from the comfort of my own bedroom. Each session felt helpful and tailored towards my goals. I felt comfortable quickly, and felt able to discuss thoughts and feelings openly and without judgement.”
