EMDR Intensive Therapy in the UK

Recover from Trauma and Anxiety with Online EMDR Intensives
Over 3 in 10 adults in the UK experience anxiety daily. If you are one of them, you are likely feeling the impact on your work, health, and relationships.
While weekly therapy sessions are common, they often take months or even years to show results. This slow process can be emotionally draining, delay your personal goals or leave you feeling overwhelmed during critical life phases.
But what if you could feel better in just a few days?
Why Choose EMDR Intensive Therapy?
With Online EMDR Intensives, you can experience rapid relief from:
Emotional triggers and flashbacks
Panic attacks and intrusive thoughts
Emotional numbness or uncontrollable crying
Limiting beliefs that keep you stuck
With intensive EMDR you can break free from the struggle in just one or a few days, without putting your life on hold or spending years in therapy.
Start making the change you deserve!
What is EMDR intensive therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) online intensives offer the same healing benefits as a traditional course of therapy, but in a focused and time-efficient format. Instead of spreading sessions over months, you can complete the equivalent of weeks of therapy in just one or more full days.
For example, rather than meeting once a week, you might have up to 7 hours of structured therapy in a single day. These sessions include regular breaks and time to process so that the experience feels manageable and supportive.
This concentrated format allows you to make progress faster without putting your life on hold or spending months in weekly sessions.
You could think of it like a carefully guided journey. Each step is planned to help you move forward steadily and safely, at a pace that feels right for you.
Online intensives are especially helpful for people with full schedules or going through challenging life situations. You can attend from anywhere, as long as you have a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection.
How Do Online EMDR Intensives Work at Fly Out of the Box?
My online EMDR intensive program has 3 phases:
Intake Session
1 hour video call where you and I will go through your history, current challenges, and what you want to achieve.
Based on your goals and circumstances, I will recommend the best length and structure for your intensive EMDR work.
All assessment tests will be completed in your own time before the start of the intensive work.
Intake Session (1h): 140£
EMDR Intensive Therapy
Flexible format, tailored to your needs. Delivered online via secure video call, so you can do the work from your home or office.
Typically, we do around 7 hours of therapy in a day. We take breaks as needed, and these are not counted as part of the therapy time.
Depending on your needs, your intensive may last anywhere from half a day to 5 consecutive days.
Pricing options
Half Day Intensive (up to 4h work) :
600£
Full day Intensive (up to 7h work) :
1200£
Follow-Up Session
A 30-minute video follow-up session is included. This takes place 2–3 weeks after your EMDR intensive, to check in on your progress and discuss any next steps.
Follow-Up Session (30 min):
FREE of Charge
What Happens After the Intensive?
Every situation is unique, but research and clinical experience show that many people feel a noticeable shift after just one intensive.
Some continue working with their regular therapist. Others choose to return for additional intensive sessions to complete their trauma healing. In some cases, follow-up sessions may be helpful between intensives.
How do I start?
Just book an intake session. During the video call, I will get to know your needs and help tailor the best approach to meet your goals.
Still have questions?
You can check the FAQ or Book a Session. I am always happy to talk things through and help you decide if this is the right fit for you.
Can We Work Together If I Don’t Live in Manchester or in the UK?
Yes. Fly Out of the Box is based in Manchester, UK, but I work exclusively online. You don’t need to live in Manchester—or even in the UK—for us to work together.
As long as you have a private space and a stable internet connection, you can do this work from the comfort of your home or office.
Benefits of EMDR Intensives vs. Weekly Sessions
Faster Results
Heal in days or weeks, instead of months or years. Intensive therapy can be done as a standalone treatment or as a boost to your current counselling treatment if you are already working on a regular basis with another therapist.
Less Emotional Drain
Avoid the emotional rollercoaster of weekly sessions and make faster progress with fewer emotional setbacks.
An intensive approach reduces the processing time and eliminates common side effects such as increased vulnerability or emotional eshaustion.
Cost-Effective
Research shows that intensives are more efficient compared to weekly sessions. The highly focused work reduces the number of sessions needed to achieve the same results, saving you time and money in the long run.
