EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is one of the most powerful therapeutic approaches available today, backed by around 30 years of research. Originally developed for trauma and PTSD, it has proven remarkably effective for anxiety, stress, cravings, unwanted patterns, and difficult emotions.

My clients are continually amazed by how quickly it works. What might take months or even years through traditional therapy alone can often be addressed in a matter of weeks.

How EMDR Works

Unlike traditional talking therapies, EMDR doesn’t require you to analyse or describe your experiences in detail. It works with your brain’s natural processing system, using bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements) to resolve what has become stuck or unresolved.

You stay fully awake, alert, and in control throughout. I guide you through a structured process at a pace that feels right for you.

The best thing about EMDR is that you can actually experience the changes happening during the session. Many people begin feeling relief within the first few sessions.

What EMDR Can Help With

EMDR is most widely recognised for trauma and PTSD, but I also work with clients dealing with anxiety and stress, unwanted habits and patterns including alcohol, emotional eating, cravings, self-esteem issues, processing difficult life experiences, and overwhelming emotions.

Every person is different, so I take time to understand your situation before we begin any EMDR work.

Why Clients Choose EMDR

People often find it more comfortable than they expected, particularly if they’ve struggled to make progress through conversation-based therapy or feel hesitant about revisiting past experiences in detail.

Because EMDR works at a subconscious level, you don’t need to tell me everything. You just need to be willing to let the process work.

Your EMDR Practitioner

I’m a qualified and experienced EMDR practitioner based in Hervey Bay, working with clients in person locally and online right across Australia. I also combine EMDR with clinical hypnotherapy when that suits a client’s needs.
