Online EMDR Therapy
Trauma therapy that reaches you, wherever you are in Australia.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) helps your brain process and integrate disturbing memories without reliving them — and it works just as well over secure video as it does in the room.
What is Online EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a well-researched approach first developed to ease the distress of traumatic memories, and now used to help with a much wider range of concerns. It works with your nervous system's own capacity to heal, gently reprocessing memories that have stayed "stuck" so they lose their emotional charge.
Online EMDR is the same therapy, delivered by secure video. Sessions run on a platform built specifically for EMDR, so the bilateral stimulation — the eye movements, taps or tones that help your brain reprocess a memory — happens just as it would face to face, with your therapist guiding and staying present with you on screen the whole way through. Wherever you live, you can access experienced, accredited EMDR from your own space.
How can Online EMDR help me?
Imagine feeling steadier in your ability to navigate and respond to emotions, memories and distress without needing to leave home.
The purpose of EMDR is to help you process and heal from traumatic or distressing memories that are quietly driving current symptoms — the flashbacks, the anxiety, the sense of being on edge.
In a session, you'll be guided to hold a specific experience, memory, emotion or belief while attending to gentle bilateral stimulation on screen. Your therapist supports you to move through the memory and the emotions, thoughts and bodily sensations that come with it, in a safe and steady way, and at a pace that's right for you.

Who is online EMDR for?
EMDR Therapy can be helpful for a wide range of individuals with various mental health conditions.
EMDR can help with:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
EMDR therapy is widely recognised as an effective treatment for PTSD. It can help individuals who have experienced traumatic events such as accidents, natural disasters, physical or sexual assault, combat, or witnessing violence.Anxiety disorders
EMDR therapy can be beneficial for individuals with different types of anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and panic disorder. It helps reduce anxiety symptoms and the distress associated with triggering situations or objects.Depression
EMDR therapy can be used as an adjunctive treatment for depression. Addressing underlying traumatic experiences or distressing memories can help alleviate depressive symptoms and promote a more positive outlook.Substance abuse and addiction
EMDR therapy can be integrated into the treatment of substance abuse and addiction. It can help individuals process underlying trauma that may have contributed to their addictive behaviours, reduce cravings, and support relapse prevention.
Dissociative disorders
EMDR therapy can be helpful for individuals with dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder (DID) or dissociative amnesia. It can assist in integrating and processing fragmented or disconnected memories and experiences.Phobias and fears
EMDR therapy has been effective in treating specific phobias and irrational fears. It helps individuals desensitise to the feared object or situation and reprocess the associated distressing memories or beliefs.Grief and loss
EMDR therapy can support individuals who are experiencing grief and loss. It can help process the emotions, memories, and unresolved issues related to the loss, facilitating the healing process.Performance anxiety
EMDR therapy can be beneficial for individuals who struggle with performance anxiety in areas such as public speaking, sports, or artistic performances. It helps reduce anxiety and enhance self-confidence.
It's important to note that while EMDR therapy has been shown to be effective for many clients and conditions, it may not be appropriate or recommended for everyone. Each individual's situation is unique, and it's crucial to consult with a qualified mental health professional who can assess your specific needs and determine if EMDR therapy is suitable for you.
