EMDR for Processing Trauma and Difficult Memories
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, highly effective, evidence-based therapy. It is used to help the brain successfully process memories that are stuck and causing emotional distress, contributing to long-standing issues.
Our highly skilled EMDR Psychologists near Payneham are experts in using this technique to help alleviate symptoms such as:
-
The lingering effects of psychological trauma and PTSD
-
Chronic stress, debilitating worry, and panic attacks
-
Difficulty in social or professional functioning
-
Persistent feelings of being disconnected or unwell
EMDR can help you transform your relationship with difficult memories, leading to emotional freedom and renewed well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I switch practitioners if the initial fit isn't right?
Absolutely. The therapeutic relationship is crucial for success. If you feel you would be more comfortable with a different practitioner, simply let our Reception team know, and we will happily assist you in finding a new match within our diverse team.
2. How does the government's 10-session limit work if I start therapy late in the year?
Medicare subsidises 10 rebated sessions per calendar year (Jan 1st to Dec 31st). Any sessions unused by December 31st (up to 4, if you haven't had your GP review) can roll over into the new year. Our Reception team will clearly guide you through the process and timing of your GP reviews.
3. What is the difference between an individual session and an Executive Coaching session?
Individual sessions focus on clinical psychological issues (e.g., managing anxiety, depression, trauma). Executive Coaching, provided by some of our senior clinicians, focusses on professional development, leadership challenges, burnout prevention, and maximising organisational performance.
4. Do I need to prepare anything for my first appointment?
We recommend arriving about 15 minutes early to complete initial paperwork. Beyond that, the only preparation needed is the willingness to talk openly. Your therapist will guide the conversation, seeking to understand your background and goals.
5. Is Couple's Counselling covered by Medicare?
Unfortunately, Medicare does not provide rebates for Couple's Therapy. If you have Private Health Insurance, you may be able to claim a portion of the fee, we recommend checking your specific policy benefits.
