What is Brainspotting Therapy?
Brainspotting is a powerful yet gentle therapy that helps you access and heal the emotional pain your body has been holding onto—sometimes for years. It’s based on the idea that where you look affects how you feel. By focusing on specific eye positions, or “brainspots,” we can tap into the deeper parts of your brain where trauma and stress are stored—often beyond words.
You don’t need to retell every detail of your story; instead, we create space for your brain and body to do the work they already know how to do. It’s a bit like following your body’s internal GPS toward healing, at your own pace and in a way that feels safe and empowering.

✓ Empower you to trust your body's healing process

What is the difference between Brainspotting and EMDR therapy?
Brainspotting and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) are both brain-based therapies that help people process and heal from trauma, but they work a little differently. EMDR uses structured sets of eye movements or other bilateral stimulation while you briefly recall distressing memories, helping the brain reprocess them and reduce their emotional charge.
Brainspotting, on the other hand, is more focused on where your eyes naturally land when you’re accessing a specific emotion or body sensation. It’s less structured and more intuitive—you stay with the experience at your own pace, allowing your body and nervous system to guide the healing process. Some people describe Brainspotting as a quieter, more inward experience that allows for deep emotional release without needing to talk through every detail.
If you’re struggling with your mental health, consider seeking brainspotting treatment from a mental health professional. With the right support and guidance, you can find relief and improve your overall quality of life.
