Full Day EMDR Intensive
Structured support for individuals and teams following high-impact incidents
Individuals
A one-day immersive for individuals who need space to stabilise, reflect, and move forward, with a tailored integration plan to support clarity and momentum
Teams
A one-day immersive for teams navigating disruption, conflict cycles, or post-incident impact. The focus is on restoring stability, strengthening working relationships, and supporting effective leadership and delivery
Responding well after an incident matters
When an incident has a significant emotional or psychological impact, how an organisation responds in the days and weeks that follow is critical.
This one-day intensive provides a structured, trauma-informed stabilisation approach for individuals or teams who have recently experienced a high-impact event.
It is a time-bound intervention designed to stabilise, contain, and support recovery following difficult events. Supporting people to regain steadiness, helping teams to function more effectively, and equipping leaders to communicate and act in ways that minimise additional harm.
When to use a full-day intensive?
This is not a generic wellbeing session and it is not long-term therapy. This intensive is suitable following events such as:
- Serious incidents or near misses
- Safeguarding concerns or investigations
- Workplace violence, threats, or harassment
- Sudden death or traumatic loss affecting a team
- High-impact complaints, regulatory action, or public scrutiny
- Critical failures involving service users or clients
- Cumulative exposure in high-risk roles where a specific incident has tipped the system
It is typically delivered days or weeks after an incident, once immediate safety issues have been addressed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a debrief or wellbeing session?
This is a structured stabilisation intervention, not a debrief and not a generic wellbeing offer. It is specifically designed to reduce distress and restore steadiness without increasing risk.
Participants are not asked to recount what happened or share personal experiences. There is no open storytelling or re-exposure. The work is carefully paced, present-focused, and held within clear psychological and ethical boundaries. The emphasis is on stability, containment, and function rather than analysing or revisiting the incident.
What does the day actually focus on?
The focus is on helping individuals and teams regain enough steadiness to function well after impact.
Participants are supported to reduce overwhelm and reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and re-establish effective ways of working and communicating. The day also provides clarity on next steps and onward support where needed.
Will people be expected to talk about the incident?
No. There is no requirement for personal disclosure. The approach avoids open discussion of traumatic details and prioritises psychological safety throughout the day.
Who is this suitable for?
The intensive can be delivered for individuals, leadership groups, or intact teams who have been affected by a destabilising event, conflict cycle, or high-impact incident.
It is suitable for a wide range of organisational contexts and is adapted to sector, role, and risk profile.
What is this not intended to do?
This intensive is not a critical incident debrief, not an open discussion of traumatic details, and not a one-off solution for complex or historic trauma.
Its purpose is to stabilise, contain, and support functional recovery following recent impact.
What outcomes can participants expect?
Participants typically leave with greater emotional steadiness, clearer thinking, and improved ability to relate and work effectively. Teams often experience improved cohesion and reduced tension, while leaders gain confidence in how to lead and communicate following impact.
How does this support leaders specifically?
Leaders play a critical role in post-incident recovery. This intensive helps leaders understand common post-incident responses, communicate in ways that reduce fear and confusion, and hold appropriate boundaries.
Leaders are supported to avoid unintended harm caused by silence, pressure to move on, or over-functioning, while still maintaining operational clarity and direction.
How is the intensive delivered?
The intervention is delivered over one full day, either on site or virtually. It is confidential, professionally governed, and ethically delivered, drawing on established early trauma intervention and group stabilisation principles.
Is this a form of therapy?
No. This is not therapy and does not replace clinical treatment where that is indicated. It is a time-limited stabilisation intervention designed to support recovery and reduce risk in the immediate post-incident period.
Where further or specialist support is needed, clear referral and escalation guidance is provided.
What outcomes can organisations expect?
Organisations can expect improved emotional steadiness, reduced conflict and withdrawal, stronger team functioning, clearer leadership communication, and greater confidence in their post-incident response. When delivered appropriately, this also reduces the risk of longer-term psychological harm.
