EMDR Therapy for Adults in London
Structured, trauma-focused therapy for adults seeking real change. Offered privately via secure telehealth.
I’m James Lavino, a Licensed Professional counselor, EMDR-certified trauma specialist, and board-certified music therapist. I offer EMDR therapy to adults across London through confidential, one-on-one online sessions.
Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, or long-standing emotional patterns, EMDR offers a grounded, precise way to address the parts of experience that talk therapy alone does not always reach.
You don’t have to relive every painful memory to heal.
When Talk Alone Hasn’t Been Enough
EMDR therapy engages the brain’s deeper processing systems. It’s a structured, research-supported method that allows you to access and resolve emotional material without having to relive every detail. You remain in control of the pace and focus at all times.
​
Whether the past is intruding in unexpected ways or you feel caught in patterns that haven’t shifted, EMDR offers a different way forward.
Grounded. Focused.
Designed Around You.
Sessions are held online, with care taken to ensure privacy, security, and focus. Many clients find that working virtually provides a calmer, more accessible experience, especially when paired with a clear structure and a therapist who understands how to guide the process thoughtfully.
​
My approach integrates EMDR with strong clinical grounding and attention to detail. It’s not generic therapy. It’s deliberate work, shaped around your needs.
Who I Am
My work is shaped by experience across both the allied health professions and the creative arts. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as a professional composer. That background informs my clinical approach today — thoughtful, structured, and attuned to emotional and sensory processes that are not always accessible through language.
​
I specialize in helping adults address trauma, anxiety, and long-standing emotional patterns, particularly when previous therapy has not led to lasting change. I am a Masters-level clinician whose training includes advanced EMDR certification, board certification in music therapy, and clinical experience in both the United States and United Kingdom. I hold dual USA/UK citizenship and am a longtime resident of Primrose Hill.
Next Steps
I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can talk briefly about what you’re looking for and whether EMDR might be a good fit. The call is confidential and no pressure—just a chance to see whether the work feels aligned.
