EMDR Therapy: Supporting your journey to let go, recover and move forward

Some of life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. EMDR therapy from a clinical psychologist at A&U Psychology can support you and help you to overcome:

PTSD and trauma: Individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder or who have experienced distressing life events, can experience relief from flashbacks, nightmares and severe emotional distress when using EMDR.
Anxiety and panic attacks: Many people with chronic anxiety, panic or ongoing fears find EMDR beneficial.
Low self-esteem and performance anxiety: Negative beliefs and memories affecting confidence and performance can be reprocessed during EMDR Therapy.
Phobias: Specific phobias and irrational fears can be processed and desensitised with EMDR.

Depression and low mood: EMDR helps to reprocess painful memories and emotional wounds that contribute to chronic sadness or depressive symptoms, helping break the cycle of negative thoughts and feelings.

Sleep disturbances: Take steps to resolve insomnia or nightmares caused by trauma or anxiety with the help of EMDR therapy.

Grief and loss: EMDR can help with complicated grief or difficulties moving through bereavement.
Chronic pain and medically unexplained symptoms: EMDR can help when pain or physical symptoms are linked to stress or trauma.
Substance use and compulsive behaviours: Past trauma sometimes drives addictive behaviour, which can be reduced when using EMDR therapy.

Our services are available in-person at our Brisbane clinic (Windsor) or via secure online appointments, and you can attend as a private client or with a referral from your GP.
