EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps people heal from distressing or overwhelming experiences. It supports the brain’s natural ability to process memories and reduce the emotional intensity attached to them, helping you feel more settled and in control.
During EMDR sessions, you are guided to focus on specific memories or experiences while using bilateral stimulation, such as gentle eye movements, auditory tones, or soft vibrations from a tapper. This helps your brain reprocess difficult memories so they feel less overwhelming and easier to cope with. Many people notice reduced anxiety, clearer thinking, and a greater sense of emotional balance as a result.
I am EMDR trained (Part 1 and Part 2) and can guide clients through EMDR-informed sessions to safely explore and process challenging experiences. This approach can help you feel more resilient, find new perspectives, and move forward with greater confidence.
For EMDR work, I often recommend one and a half hour sessions rather than one hour. This allows enough time to gently settle in, complete meaningful processing, and ensure you feel grounded before the session ends. Longer sessions help avoid rushing important work and support deeper, more effective progress while prioritising your emotional wellbeing. However, clients are very welcome to book a one hour session if that feels more comfortable.
A one hour EMDR session is $150 and a one and a half hour session is $215. Saturday appointments are $180 for one hour session and a one and a half hour session is $260. Please email Melissa if you would like to book a one and a half hour appointment.
