An Online EMDR Intensive is a modern approach to meaningful therapy that works with your natural rhythm to let you make significant changes sooner rather than later.
What is an EMDR Intensive?
It's a concentrated therapeutic approach designed to create big shifts in a short period. Here's an online EMDR Intensive with a difference. Yes step one is an EMDR Intensive aka Root Down, but there are two additional stages to your care - Peak Performance (Rise Up) and Accountability (Nurture your Success) - click here for more.
Sessions are 90-minutes to align with your ultradian rhythms, ensure optimal engagement as ninety minutes lets you dive in but without losing steam. If sessions were shorter, you might feel like you stop short just as you were getting into it and if sessions were longer, you might feel drained and lose concentration - the aim is 'just right' as Goldilocks would say.
BIG PROBLEM #1: A lot of people want convenient short-term therapy and 50-minute weekly or fortnightly appointments make short-term therapy trickier. Some people want to make a few tweaks in life, while others want to deep dive into past traumas, but regardless of the depth you want to go into in therapy, appointments are often scheduled during the workday when you’re, well, working.
BIG PROBLEM #2: A lot of people don’t know where to start with choosing a therapist and end their google search no closer to starting therapy. But if you do find a therapist you’d like to start with… you probably live in different corners of the world. Hmm if only therapy was online…
Natural Choice Therapy designed a service to solve these problems, a specialised therapy service offering Online EMDR Intensives.
Root Down: Mind-body therapies, like EMDR, help integrate your memories to make more space for you to live in the present. Choose the Intensive if you're ready to deep dive into your triggers, process blocks, reconnect with yourself, and lead a more present and meaningful life.
Rise Up: Optimise your mindset for success. The aim is to remove blocks to flourishing and instead create possibilities for your future. You don’t have to think “I’m not good enough" or "I don’t deserve X” any longer - you can create a more adaptive mindset which allows you to reach your potential and succeed. You want to break through to the next level and create a clearer vision for yourself.

Nature and me go way back. Growing up in the Irish countryside, my siblings and I were often shooed outside until dinner was ready, giving us endless hours of playtime. I didn't know it then, but those years of 'play' have shaped my outlook on mental health today.
As a teenager, I had the opportunity to go on outdoor expeditions and I remember on my first trek, the leader had us stop, take off our rucksacks, and sit quietly for ten minutes. A novel feeling of awe & gratitude washed over me - my first experience of deliberate mindfulness in nature.
University life pulled me indoors and away from nature, joining the surf club rekindled that connection. My first sunset surf was unforgettable, being a beginner didn't stop me from appreciating the glistening waves or the sound of the water against the surfboard; the moment took me out of my head & back into my body. Adventure sports often bring a quick connection to mind & body, making you feel truly alive. The university skydiving club did that for me - each jump was a wake-up call. But I've since learned through other practices that you don't need extreme sports to fully connect with your senses. Going on a 10-day silent retreat and doing my doctorate research on therapists' mindfulness helped me appreciate the soft, subtle sights & sounds of the present moment.
Rhythm Reset brings together evidence-based tools as well as my personal and professional skills to offer a new way of living well now (rather than waiting for your next holiday!). One that reconnects you with your needs and the simple rhythms & joys of everyday life.
