Our EMDR therapy helps you process and move past traumatic memories.
What we can help with
What to Expect
EMDR is a structured therapy that helps your brain reprocess distressing memories.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured treatment that asks you to focus simultaneously on an upsetting memory — along with the thoughts, feelings and sensations attached to it — and a form of bilateral stimulation, typically guided eye movements. You don't need to talk through every detail of what happened for it to help. Over the course of treatment, the memory is desensitised and reprocessed, and symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares and distressing thoughts tend to reduce or cease as more adaptive beliefs emerge.
EMDR is available in person at our Footscray clinic or online across Victoria. Sessions start at $200, and rebates may apply depending on who you see. No referral is required — just book an intake call and our admin team will match you with a practitioner who has EMDR availability.
Good To Know
EMDR is one of the most well-researched trauma treatments, backed by over 25 scientific studies and independent reviews. It's endorsed by the World Health Organisation (2013), the Australian Psychological Society (2010), the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (2009) and the American Psychiatric Association (2004), and is an approved Focused Psychological Strategy, meaning some sessions may attract Medicare rebates depending on who you see. EMDR is also available as part of couples therapy (alongside Gottman Method interventions) and as an intensive program, in addition to regular weekly or fortnightly sessions.
