The Vanguard Treatment Model
Are you looking for an effective way to process and heal from trauma?
Our online Intensive EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) "Vanguard Therapy Model" is designed to help you achieve healing in a shorter time frame. Whilst many therapists and organisations now offer Intensive EMDR, The Vanguard model is defined and designed with specific considerations following consultation with world renowned EMDR trainers and consultants.
Our programme of support is conducted online, ensuring that you can receive quality treatment from the comfort of your own home, making it both accessible and convenient. With scheduling, reduced travel time, and a safe space for healing, many clients find that our intensive format leads to quicker results and relief from distressing symptoms.

Breaking down barriers to support and stigma
​
Many services, for lots of reasons are unable to support individuals who present with risk or addiction challenges. At Vanguard, we believe in finding opportunities to enable support for those in the most distress and need. If the distress that you are experiencing includes thoughts and behaviours that are harming you, we encourage you to share this with us so that we can work with you, free from judgement in the most supportive way possible. ​
