Why CBT Cardiff
Our therapists have spent decades working within the NHS, training other professionals, and delivering specialist therapy for some of the most complex cases in South Wales. When you come to CBT Cardiff, you're accessing that same level of expertise — in a warm, private setting, on your schedule.
About EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a NICE recommended, evidence-based therapy that has transformed the lives of people suffering from PTSD, trauma, and distressing memories. Unlike traditional talking therapies, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, typically eye movements to help the brain process and integrate traumatic memories into long term memory, where they should be stored..
Many clients report significant relief within about four sessions. EMDR is particularly effective for single incident trauma (such as accidents, sudden loss of a loved one or assaults) but is also used successfully for complex, childhood, and developmental trauma.

“I was a front seat passenger when another car crashed into my side of our car causing it to be a right off. I was frightened and shocked at the bump, noise and suddenness of the incident…
“Initially I was sent to see my therapist by my employer, so before I got there, I felt angry and suspicious. Even though I knew things weren’t right for me and I needed some kind of help, I couldn’t seem to join the dots to see the complete picture.
