EMDR Therapy for Healing Trauma and Anxiety
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based psychotherapy technique. It facilitates the processing of disturbing memories and emotional distress caused by past traumatic or difficult life experiences.
Our specialised EMDR Psychologists near Kensington can help you address chronic issues such as:
● Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD Therapy)
● Treating trauma symptoms like flashbacks, emotional numbness or social withdrawal
● Overwhelming anxiety and panic attacks
● The feeling that life is "stuck" or not enjoyable
By using EMDR, we help your brain integrate challenging experiences, reducing their emotional intensity so you can move forward with greater peace.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I choose the right Psychologist for me?
Choosing a therapist one feels understood by and resonate with, is an individual choice. We encourage you to review our Practitioner profiles, noticing factors such as areas of specialisations, therapy approaches and age groups. If you need some help, contact our friendly Reception team. They can confidentially discuss your needs and suggest available practitioners who might be a good fit.
2. Do I need a referral to see a Psychologist near Kensington?
No, you do not need a referral to make an appointment. However, to claim the Medicare rebate (subsidy), you must have a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) and referral from your GP.
3. How does EMDR work, and is it effective?
EMDR helps the brain process and desensitise to traumatic memories, essentially making them less vivid and distressing. Research, particularly for PTSD and trauma, shows it to be highly effective, leading to significant reductions in emotional distress and symptoms.
4. How quickly can I get an appointment?
Our practitioners have varying wait times. If you require a time as soon as possible, please let us know. We maintain an active cancellation list and will contact you via text if an earlier slot opens up.
5. What is the difference between a Clinical Psychologist and a Registered Psychologist?
While both are highly trained to provide effective therapy, the distinction in Australia mainly relates to a slightly different course of postgraduate study and is used by Medicare to differentiate billing and rebate categories. Both are excellent choices for professional psychological help.
