Additionally, Clair Davies has completed an EMDRIA approved EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training program and is now capable of providing EMDR therapy to clients. This unique method of psychotherapy is effective in treating symptoms of trauma and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) as it helps individuals process distressing memories and reduce their long-term effects.
