EMDR Therapy for Trauma Resolution
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly regarded, evidence-based psychotherapy technique. It is specifically designed to help clients process and overcome the psychological distress resulting from challenging life experiences, often allowing for rapid emotional relief.
Our highly trained EMDR Psychologists serving Burnside utilise this method to address symptoms such as:
-
The effects of psychological trauma and complex PTSD
-
Intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and avoidance behaviours
-
Chronic stress, anxiety, and unexplained emotional reactivity
-
Deep-seated feelings of inadequacy or low self-worth
EMDR can be instrumental in resolving past issues that continue to interfere with your present quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What if I need to cancel my appointment?
We require more than 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This policy allows us to offer the time to other clients who may be waiting for an urgent appointment, ensuring timely service for everyone.
2. What is the key difference between a Clinical Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?
The main difference is medication. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication. Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists focus solely on providing comprehensive psychological therapy (e.g., EMDR, CBT, ACT) and counselling. We often collaborate with local psychiatrists for holistic care.
3. Does Couple's Counselling qualify for a Medicare rebate?
No, Medicare does not provide rebates for Couple's Counselling. However, you may be eligible to claim a benefit through your private health insurance, depending on your level of cover.
4. How long does it usually take to see results from therapy?
This varies greatly by individual and concern. Clients often report immediate short-term benefits (relief from talking) within the first few sessions. Long-term, foundational change usually requires sustained effort over several weeks or months, using the skills learned in therapy.
5. Can I choose which type of therapy (e.g., EMDR vs. CBT) I receive?
Therapy is collaborative. Your therapist will recommend the most evidence-based and effective approach (like EMDR for trauma or CBT for anxiety) based on your initial assessment, but your preferences and comfort level are always factored into the final treatment plan.
