The goal of this multi-centre, randomised, pilot feasibility study is to assess the feasibility of recruiting intensive care survivors, with symptoms of traumatic stress, to a study evaluating the use of eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR). The main purpose is to determine whether it is feasible and acceptable to patients, clinicians and researchers. In addition, this study aims to identify design criteria that may be of use in a subsequent randomised controlled trial of clinical effectiveness. Participants will: * be recruited at hospital discharge * undergo a psychological assessment at 2-3 months post-hospital discharge * Those exhibiting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), will be randomised (1:1) to receive either usual care or usual care plus EMDR * Participants who do not exhibit PTSD symptoms at the 2-3 month assessment will enter a light-touch observation arm. * All participants will repeat the psychological assessment 12-months after hospital discharge. Feasibility parameters; recruitment, adherence, retention and safety data. Primary clinical outcomes; change in PTSD symptoms between 2-3 months and 12-months. The investigators will undertake a qualitative process evaluation using clinical ethnography and reported according to the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability.
