EMDR Therapy in Nuneaton – Calm, Professional Support
If you are searching for EMDR therapy in Nuneaton, you may be feeling stuck with memories, emotions, or patterns that do not seem to shift. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based talking therapy designed to help your brain naturally process distressing experiences — so they no longer feel overwhelming in the present.
Having trained as a Hypnotherapist in 2020 with HYPNOTIC, I later completed EMDR training for Hypnotherapists to ensure I could fully support clients struggling with trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD. I have found EMDR to be a gentle yet insightful approach that can significantly reduce the lasting impact of difficult life events. Experiences that once felt life-changing and continue to trigger you can often resolve into a place of calm acceptance.
EMDR is particularly beneficial if you have experienced something traumatic that you would rather not relive. The process allows you to observe the memory from a safe, more distant perspective without feeling fully immersed in it, while still enabling you to move forward. I have witnessed clients who arrived carrying intense anger work through a significant event and leave the session feeling lighter than they have in years — able to release emotions they had been holding on to for a long time.
Reprocess the Past, Reclaim the Present
EMDR is used worldwide for trauma and PTSD. However, trauma is not limited to major life events. Any experience that overwhelmed your ability to cope at the time can become stored in a way that continues to cause distress.
EMDR can help with:
-
Trauma and PTSD
-
Anxiety and panic
-
Low self-esteem
-
Disturbing or intrusive memories
-
Emotional overwhelm
-
Habits and behavioural patterns
-
Negative thinking cycles
-
Physical sensations linked to stress
For example, a client who experienced extreme bullying was able to recognise aspects of the situation he had previously overlooked and release the unnecessary self-blame he had carried for years. Procrastination and anxiety around exams shifted into a calmness he initially described as “nothingness”, later realising it was a sense of peace he had simply never experienced before.
Many people I work with know their story of trauma or injustice very well and have likely replayed it repeatedly over the years. Yet after several EMDR sessions, they are often able to view the memory as something that happened in the past — no longer something that defines them or controls their present.
How EMDR Works
Sometimes the brain’s natural recovery process becomes blocked. When this happens, memories can remain “unprocessed”, carrying their original emotional intensity, physical sensations and associated beliefs.
EMDR helps the brain safely process these memories. As processing occurs, the memory typically loses its painful intensity and becomes a neutral recollection of a past event rather than something that feels current and distressing.
Therapy may be completed in a single session for a specific issue or over a series of sessions where experiences are more complex.
What Happens During an EMDR Session?
During sessions, you will be invited to mindfully notice whatever arises. This is a non-judgemental space — for both of us.
You may notice:
-
Detailed images of an event
-
Symbolic representations
-
Internal self-talk
-
Body sensations
-
Emotions such as sadness, frustration, anger or guilt and joy
These experiences are simply observed and allowed to pass without judgement. The process supports your brain in doing what it is naturally designed to do — heal.
EMDR With or Without Hypnosis
EMDR can be carried out both in and out of hypnosis. When integrated with hypnosis, you may explore an issue from a more dissociated and resourced state. This can allow difficult events to be viewed with increased safety and reduced emotional overwhelm, while still enabling effective processing.
I work with clients across Nuneaton, Bedworth, Hinckley, Coventry and the surrounding Warwickshire areas. Clarity Wellbeing is an excellent location for in-person appointments, where free parking is available.
EMDR therapy can also be delivered online, and exploration calls are currently conducted via Zoom.

Client Stories
Online Anxiety Support
Jodie worked well with me to establish what I wanted to get out of the sessions and what my goals were. I was initially a little hesitant about the support being offered online rather than face to face but receiving support in my own home in a room that I feel comfortable in was really relaxing. Jodie was very easy to talk to and feel comfortable with.
As the sessions progressed, new challenges and anxieties appeared in my life and Jodie was able to make changes to the sessions to deal with new challenges I was facing. I found this useful and feel that I am now in a much better place, both at home and at work.
Anxiety Management
To anyone thinking that they might benefit from this support I would highly recommend hypnotherapy as an alternative therapy. It has given me tools to manage my own anxieties better and given me confidence to feel that I can manage any other challenges that I might face more successfully.
My partner has commented throughout my hypnotherapy journey that he can see a change in me and can see me being more able to manage my own anxieties better and have been calmer and more relaxed both in and out of work.
Anxiety/Confidence Client
Well what can I say? It’s been an interesting journey that I have been taken on. I can’t say that I 100% believe that it’s worked but then in the next breath I feel a lot calmer in stressful situations. The feeling of hypnotherapy was one of pre-sleep for me, I could fully hear everything that was being said and react when asked, I was aware if I wasn’t comfortable and could readjust myself if needed but didn’t quite find in necessary. I would be relaxed in my chair listening but feeling a calm but heavy feeling in my body which prevented me from moving or wanting to move. All very unusual but you get used to it very quickly.
Jodie spent time explaining every aspect of the journey and recapping the following week. She has made me look at situations differently and even provided me with self help that I can share with my family too.
I went into this experience open minded but with the thought in the back of my head whether or not would it work. I can categorically say ‘well something did!’
I would highly recommend hypnosis for people that want to explore their options of self help without medication.
Work Anxiety Client
I have just completed my hypnotherapy sessions with Jodie at Me again therapy and I have loved and looked forward to every single session.
Each week the sessions have each got better and I have learnt various techniques throughout which I have used over the past weeks and will continue to use in the future.
Today was my last session and even though I am disappointed that I will not be seeing Jodie during weekly as I have enjoyed them so much, but I am so proud and thankful of the progress that Jodie has helped me to make.
Anxiety/Confidence Client
I had anxiety which was a lot bigger than I even knew! I chose to go to Me Again Therapy as a friend recommended it to me.
I honestly don’t know how the problem was solved. I think it was through working on my self belief but also changing the images in my head and being in control of my thoughts. The sessions were all very unique and tailored to me.
To summarise my experience as a whole would be mind blowing, sometimes I reflect on how far I have come and can’t even remember most of my anxieties. I would definitely recommend Me Again Therapy and already have! I didn’t know it was possible to reduce my anxiety so much.
Loss of Control Client
I had an overwhelming sense of being lost, and completely out of control, the only way I could describe the way I was feeling was SAD. I looked okay and I'm sure my work colleagues would have not been able to guess how I was feeling as I put on my happy mask every day, although that seemed to be getting harder and harder.
I was recommended Jodie as someone who could help, I was a bit sceptical, would this work for me. I had tried hypnotherapy a few years back, so why would this be any different, however I had nothing to lose.
The session provided me with a safe space to talk about the issues I felt I had. Jodie has a beautiful, kind way of asking questions about the messages we all tell ourselves every day, I did not feel judged or patronised, it was just a conversation. Which identified areas which Jodie picked up on and tailored each session accordingly.
This experience, I feel, has made me feel more positive about myself and enjoy feeling like me again.
