Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT)

​

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling with difficult emotions, Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) may be able to help. It's a gentle, structured approach that uses eye movement techniques to support emotional regulation and help you move forward. 

​

I am trained as an Advanced Integral Eye Therapy Practitioner, and have woven this approach into 100's of coaching sessions to help people feel differently about their challenges and improve their mental well-being. 

​

Why do you feel the way you do?

Perhaps you've lost yourself down the same 'Why-hole' wondering why you feel the way you do about something or respond a particular way.  The why question can be helpful but it can also leave us feeling frustrated when we can't achieve the changes we want to our thoughts, feelings or responses.

Your past experiences shape the way you think, feel, and respond — often without even realising it. Some of these patterns sit beneath our conscious awareness, meaning we don't actively think about them, yet they quietly influence how we feel day to day. When those patterns are rooted in difficult or painful experiences, they can affect your confidence, mental health, and sense of who you are. 

Even stopping you from doing or being the person you want to be. 

​

IEMT works directly with these deeper imprints to help ease their hold on you and change your mental and physical associations. 

​

What can IEMT help with?

IEMT  can be helpful for a range of issues. Based on my own experience and clients I have found it may be particularly helpful if you're experiencing:

• Confidence or  low self-esteem — feelings that are holding you back or stopping you from living the life you'd like

• Fear of Failure and imposter syndrome (Including phobia related fears)

• Depression and low mood 

• Critical Self Talk and guilt and shame linked to decisions or choices. 

• Anxiety and worry — perhaps affecting social situations, decision-making, or leading to panic attacks or people-pleasing

• Frustration, stress, or anger — impacting your relationships, communication, or sense of control

• Trauma or Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD) - based on a single traumatic event in your life. 

​

You won't need to relive your experiences through too much talking 

IEMT is not a talking therapy. You won't be asked to go into detail about painful events — this is intentional, to help you from re-experiencing or re-telling difficult memories. The focus is on how those experiences have shaped your feelings and sense of self, and gently shifting those associations, sometimes literally in the blink of an eye!

​

A unique setting

Sessions are offered in a peaceful woodland setting in Yorkshire — a calm, natural environment that many people find supportive in itself. This works for many people because we get to meet face to face, and the natural relaxed setting surrounded by trees offers a calming place. Neuroscience research suggests that time in natural environments reduces activity in the parts of the brain associated with stress, anxiety, and low mood — meaning the woodland setting isn't just a backdrop, it actively supports your nervous system as we work together.

About IEMT

IEMT was developed in the UK by Andrew T. Austin, drawing on earlier work including Eye Movement Integration Therapy and EMDR. It is widely used by integrative coaches and psychotherapists.

As an integrative coach trained to Advanced Practitioner level in IEMT, I often weave together a range of approaches to best support your individual needs and goals. You can find out more about me here

Not sure if this is right for you?

That's completely understandable. Something like IEMT can sound a little weird and unknown and we also need to ensure we are a great fit to work alongside each other.  I offer a free discovery call where we can have an informal chat about what you're going through, and I can explain how IEMT works and whether it feels like a good fit. There's no pressure or commitment.

On this initial confidence call, I can answer any questions and talk you through booking and pricing options.
