If trauma still shapes your daily life, you are not alone.

Many people live with flashbacks, nightmares, and constant tension after difficult events. With the right support, however, recovery is possible. Our therapists are BACP members, members of EMDR Europe, and trained to EMDR Europe standards. We offer safe, confidential care and proven methods such as EMDR to reduce distress and rebuild trust in yourself. When you are ready, we walk with you step by step.
Understanding PTSD and Its Impact
PTSD can arise after many experiences: accidents, bereavement, medical emergencies, assault, or childhood neglect. While symptoms differ, common signs include intrusive memories, nightmares, heightened alertness, and avoidance of reminders. In addition, many people feel detached from loved ones or find it difficult to relax. Because the nervous system remains on high alert, concentration and sleep often suffer. As a result, relationships, work, and self-confidence may be affected.
These symptoms are not signs of weakness. Instead, they show how the body is trying to keep you safe by holding trauma in an unprocessed state. Everyday sights or sounds may then trigger the same panic as the original event. PTSD therapy in Loxwood RH14 helps you calm your system, build coping strategies, and gradually reprocess the trauma. Initially, we focus on stabilisation, teaching skills such as grounding and breath control. Once you feel safer, we explore memories at a pace that suits you.
Importantly, PTSD is treatable. With steady therapeutic support, people regain energy, reconnect with others, and reclaim purpose. For a simple overview of symptoms, you can visit the NHS guide to PTSD. At Eleos, we keep therapy practical and compassionate, so progress feels possible from the start.

Before EMDR, I felt like I was stuck in the past—always jumpy, always on guard. I couldn’t sleep properly, and certain sounds or smells would send me spiralling. I avoided anything that reminded me of what happened, but it never really went away.”
“I didn’t know what to expect from EMDR, but my therapist made me feel safe from the beginning. The sessions were intense at times, but something shifted. It was like the weight I’d been carrying for years finally started to lift.”
“Now, I can talk about the trauma without shutting down. I sleep better. I feel calmer, more present, and—most importantly—I feel like myself again. EMDR didn’t erase what happened, but it gave me my life back.”
— Female, 42, survivor of a traumatic assault

The Power of EMDR Therapy for PTSD
One of the most effective approaches we offer is Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). This method enables the brain to reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming. In EMDR, your therapist guides short sets of eye movements or similar stimulation while you recall aspects of the memory. Over time, the intensity fades and your body no longer reacts with the same alarm.
Traumatic experiences often remain “frozen” in the nervous system. Because of this, everyday triggers can spark the same fear. EMDR allows the brain to integrate those fragments into ordinary memory, helping you recognise that the event is in the past. Consequently, many people notice reduced flashbacks, steadier emotions, and improved sleep.
At Eleos Counselling, our therapists are members of EMDR Europe and trained to EMDR Europe standards. We prepare carefully before reprocessing, teaching stabilisation and grounding skills first. Additionally, we work at a pace you choose, ensuring collaboration and safety throughout. This evidence-based method is a core part of our PTSD therapy in Loxwood RH14. To learn more about EMDR internationally, you can visit the EMDR International Association.
