What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured psychological therapy designed to help you process distressing memories and experiences that may be contributing to current difficulties such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, low mood, or negative self-beliefs.
It is an evidence-based therapy, endorsed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and approved by Medicare Australia as a psychological strategy under the Better Access initiative.
EMDR doesn’t require you to talk in detail about past events. Instead, it focuses on how your brain stores those experiences and helps reduce their ongoing emotional impact. Through guided sets of eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR supports your brain’s natural ability to heal, allowing you to feel less stuck and more in control.

Why EMDR Intenvises for your clients?
DEEP ENGAGEMENT
Compared to weekly sessions, this model allows clients to immerse themselves more fully in trauma-focused therapy within a concentrated, efficient timeframe.
CONVENIENT
Reduces travel time and minimises disruption to your schedule, making therapy more accessible and manageable
RESEARCH-BASED
Grounded in evidence, an EMDR Intensive is a personalized, extended-format therapy session delivered over half-day, full-day, or multi-day periods.
EFFICIENT
EMDR Intensives can offer the opportunity to complete multiple therapy hours in a single day. E.g, A 3.5-hour Intensive provides the equivalent of 4–5 standard weekly sessions (considering typical session with check-ins and wind-down time)).
