Soothe uses bilateral stimulation to reduce the emotional charge of distressing memories and feelings. It's structured, private, and self-guided.
One-off payment · No subscription · No account needed
Bring the memory to mind and notice where you feel it in your body.
Most of us carry more than we realise. Therapy helps, but it's not always accessible. And life doesn't wait for your next appointment.
Soothe gives you a way to process what's weighing on you, when you're ready, on your own terms.
Each session takes you through the same steps, in the same order.
Before every session, Soothe checks you're in a calm place. If not, there are grounding exercises to help you get there first.
Describe what you're working with, rate how distressing it feels, and pick your settings: visual, audio, or both.
A moving dot and alternating tones engage both sides of the brain while you hold the memory in mind. The emotional intensity tends to reduce as you go.
Sessions close with containment and grounding so you don't walk away still activated. You rate your distress again at the end to see what shifted.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It's a clinically validated therapy developed in the late 1980s and widely used by therapists to help people process trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and distressing memories.
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (typically side-to-side eye movements, sounds, or taps) while you hold a distressing memory in mind. The dual attention seems to reduce the emotional intensity of the memory; the brain processes it more fully as a result.
Soothe is built around bilateral stimulation, the core mechanism behind EMDR, adapted for self-guided use. It's not clinical EMDR and it doesn't replace a therapist. Think of it as a structured tool for everyday emotional processing, grounded in the same principles.
Soothe works best for everyday emotional processing. It's not a replacement for clinical care.
A difficult interaction, recurring anxiety, something that happened that won't let go.
Use Soothe between sessions to process what came up, or to maintain progress.
Therapy isn't always affordable or easy to access. Soothe offers something structured to use in the meantime.
