EMDR Treatment  Reviews 

It’s not easy to sum up my experience with Dr Balmain, other than to state it was life-changing to the highest degree. When I was first referred for EMDR therapy, I understood I had a significant mental health crisis I wanted to conquer, but did not understand how I could approach it. Like many, my knowledge of therapy came from film and TV, and I often felt that there were obvious downsides to traditional “talking cure” therapy. But the day I met Dr Balmain, I realised that EMDR was the right move for me.

I knew I wanted to approach therapy as an ultimate solution to my depression and anxiety, and not as a continuous series of talking sessions with no concrete goal in mind. Within a month, Dr Balmain helped me understand the extent of what I was going through and how I had been struggling with PTSD. She explained that what we were about to do was both thorough and possibly one of the hardest experiences I would go through. I told her I was in it until the end, and our trust in each other was established from the outset.

If you’re wondering what I mean when I say that EMDR is thorough and hard, then just know that the answers to your issues are within you. You already have the solution and EMDR can help you uncover it. Imagine taking the lock off your brain and being able to focus on your biggest traumas. Imagine turning over every rock that has dragged you down and left you lost in life. This is what EMDR can help you achieve if you are ready to implement patience and perseverance to help you change your life for the better.

Part of what I loved about the process was allowing Dr Balmain to guide me through it, so I’m not going to spoil the process. But let me tell you, if you give yourself to it, you will find exactly what you’re looking for. Beyond the therapy itself, Dr Balmain is smart, empathetic, understanding, kind and incredibly professional. I couldn’t recommend a more capable person to help you through the EMDR process.

If you feel that you can’t take much more of your situation or you are constantly living under the dark cloud of depression, let me tell you now: you deserve to live your best life, and EMDR can open the door to help you get there. Within ten months, Dr Balmain helped me navigate the countless dark corridors of my mind to get through that door. I can’t thank her enough, and I will be forever grateful that I have been able to have this experience.

I was very sceptical about EMDR at first but as the weeks went on, I noticed a big shift in myself and realised that it was really working for me. I have no doubt it can work for everyone else who needs to shift their way of thinking!! Nadia always understood what I was saying, even if I didn't think it made sense myself. She made me feel very comfortable and did not judge me whatsoever. I had the best experience I could ask for. Thank you so much. My experience was realistic but magical at the same time and I would urge anyone to try it!

EMDR therapy was a little intimidating to start with, but Nadia created a safe, welcoming space that made it easy to work through some difficult memories. Her expertise and compassionate approach helped me heal and feel more like myself again. Her encouragement to give myself permission to discuss/work through these thoughts and feelings, took me to a much better place. I highly recommend her for anyone considering EMDR.

Nadine really made me feel comfortable from the start and was really helpful. The sessions really helped and I found I was less anxious the more sessions we had together. Overall, a really helpful and pleasant experience. Thank you.

I cannot rate Nadia highly enough. My experience having EMDR with Nadia really has been a transformative one. The changes have been subtle over time but now at the end of 10 sessions with Nadia I am blown away by just how much has changed for me. I haven't had any anxiety for months, I feel calmer and more grounded, better emotional regulation, my sleep has improved, I am managing my thoughts better. Nadia guided me through the process and each session with warmth, empathy, compassion and much encouragement. Thank you Nadia!

I've had an extremely positive experience with Nadia and the EMDR treatment she offers. My life has changed in the best way possible and she's been by my side every step of the way. I would highly recommend her services and the support, guidance and expertise she consistently showcases. I've tried various different therapeutic methods and none have been as efficient and transformational as EMDR!

It’s so difficult to put into words how much Nadia has changed my life. When I started EMDR I had no idea what I was getting myself into and how hard it was going to be, but Nadia made sure each step and everything we spoke about was broken down and it really showed how much she cared. I don’t think I would be here today if it wasn’t for Nadia. She’s helped me enormously with not just mental health but with PTSD, eating disorders, family matters. Even now my sessions are over, I’m really noticing all the changes and how much I’m able to achieve now. I owe her everything. Thankyou so much Nadia

I had around 15 sessions with Nadia after being diagnosed with PTSD. I was initially skeptical but it has been pivotal in getting me back to work and has had such a massive positive impact on my recovery.
Nadia is very calm, easy to talk to and supportive in her approach.
I can totally recommend her and the associated EMDR treatment.

From the initial phone call, where Nadia listened empathetically to my situation and clearly and calmly explained her approach, the treatment she offers and the next steps, all the way up to the final session, the quality of treatment and improvement I've experienced have been fantastic.
I can honestly say that I feel as though a huge weight has been lifted after 'trusting the process' and working through each session. While this has had an immediate, positive impact on my quality of life, it has also equipped me with a much wiser response mechanism and adaptability to various stresses of life.
I just wish I'd treated myself to this life-changing experience years ago.

When I first started EMDR, I was in a bad place, I had dark thoughts and they were overwhelming . But when I started the treatment with Nadia all my negative thoughts were processed and made room for positive ones. And now I feel like I'm living instead of just existing. I would recommend this treatment to anyone who needs help.

I worked with Nadia for approximately two years and EMDR has hugely helped me. When I first started EMDR, I was struggling with anxiety and low mood. Now, I am in a much better position. EMDR allowed me to address a lot of difficult, traumatic experiences and now I am able to live freely without being weighed down by those experiences. I would highly recommend EMDR.

Nadia is fantastic at what she does. I've not always felt like therapists care, but I've always felt cared for in the EMDR sessions and I genuinely believe it has had a really positive impact on my mental health since I started going. It takes time, but it's definitely worth it.

Very positive results after treatment for anxiety, Nadia was very kind and helpful which made it a comfortable experience. Would definitely recommend.

I have been receiving EMDR treatment for a few months now. I'd never heard of it before but having now gone through quite a number of sessions I can honestly say it's been life changing for me. I have gone from being a complete mess and not coping with life to being strong again and being able to deal with life's trials. Couldn't recommend it enough. If your struggling give it ago!.. Good luck.
