​
The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of all our work. I’m not here to judge you, but to support you as you explore your experiences and the changes you want to make in your life. I won’t tell you what to do, but I may gently challenge you or offer a different perspective to help you reflect more deeply. Personal growth often happens when we step outside our comfort zone.
​
The greatest benefits come not just from attending sessions, but from taking action and making meaningful changes that align with your values and goals.
​
You have the capacity for growth and resilience, no matter what challenges life throws your way, and you are capable of meaningful change when you choose it.
Eye Movement Therapy
When we experience a traumatic or distressing event, our body will naturally go into the fight, flight or freeze response. If we have the right support and ability to cope well and work through what happened, we will find resolution to the traumatic memories and won't have lasting distress.
When we don't have full integration, the traumatic memories become ‘stuck’ or 'fragmented', and we can be left with a wide range of overwhelming symptoms like distressing images, sensations, emotions and thoughts.
For many people, this has a flow-on effect on their lives as they do their best to navigate through their experience, often developing unhelpful coping strategies and behaviours, having difficulties at work or in their relationships, and not living as fully as they would like as their sense of self, wellbeing and confidence is impacted.
Using a variety of guided eye movements and including the entire multisensory experience of distressing memories, EMIT supports the brain in completing the integration process. This allows the mind and body's natural healing responses to take place, leaving you with a balanced perspective of your experience and a new way forward.
​
This is not like traditional talk therapy - you don't need to tell every detail of your story, and EMIT is generally quicker and more effective than talk therapy with long-lasting results. EMIT can be used for something currently happening in your life or as far back as childhood.

As I cannot accept Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP), your sessions won’t be documented on your health record, and no rebates are available. Many clients find this approach beneficial because it offers complete privacy and confidentiality, with no reporting or documentation outside of our sessions. You can focus entirely on your journey without worrying about external forms or records.​​
