It is highly likely that multiple counselling sessions will be required, and it is usual to expect 8-16 counselling sessions to be needed, though sometimes can be less. Taking the first step and beginning your recovery is a huge milestone, but if you do embark on counselling, we highly recommend that you are able to see it through in full with as many sessions as are required to complete your healing journey.
If you are a resident in Hertfordshire suffering with depression, you may be eligible for free Talking Therapies counselling via NHS referral from your GP or the HPFT Wellbeing team.

What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a unique, internationally recognised powerful therapy that helps people recover from problems triggered by traumatic events in their lives. It stops difficult memories causing distress by helping the brain to reprocess them properly, working with memory to heal the legacy of past pain.
EMDR therapy is best known for treating PTSD but it can help with a range of mental health conditions in people of all ages including depression and anxiety, and has helped millions of people worldwide.
EMDR therapy is endorsed by the NHS, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, the World Health Organisation, The International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies and many other bodies.
