Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a well-established therapy for trauma and post-traumatic stress. Evoque Medical arranges EMDR with qualified therapists as part of its rehabilitation service, helping claimants recover from the psychological effects of an accident or traumatic event.

Alongside our medico-legal reporting, Evoque Medical can put rehabilitation in place to support a claimant’s recovery. We source experienced EMDR practitioners and manage the referral so treatment begins without unnecessary delay.

EMDR is recognised in national clinical guidance as an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, and its structured approach makes it well suited to claimants whose recovery has stalled because distressing memories of an accident or assault remain unresolved. Timely access to this therapy can make a meaningful difference to a claimant’s recovery.

About EMDR

EMDR is a structured psychotherapy designed to help people process and recover from distressing memories. Through guided bilateral stimulation, often in the form of side-to-side eye movements, the therapy assists the brain in reprocessing traumatic experiences so that they become less intrusive and distressing over time.

EMDR is widely recognised as an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and is also used for trauma-related anxiety and phobias. In a medico-legal context, EMDR is frequently recommended where a claimant has developed psychological symptoms following an accident, assault or other traumatic event.

EMDR is delivered through a structured sequence of phases, beginning with history-taking and preparation before the reprocessing work itself, and concluding with measures to consolidate progress. This staged approach means the therapy is tailored to the individual and that a claimant is properly prepared before addressing distressing material.
