EMDR Intensive Therapy
When one hour a week doesn't feel like enough.
An EMDR Intensive is a focused block of therapy designed to give you more time, continuity and space to work with something that has been feeling stuck. Rather than fitting the work into separate weekly appointments, your therapy is concentrated across two weeks, with preparation, dedicated sessions and follow-up support built around you.
When you understand what's happening, but still feel stuck
Maybe you've talked about something before, and you understand why it affected you, but certain situations still bring up the same feelings.
Maybe you're tired of finding yourself caught in familiar patterns; putting everyone else first, questioning yourself, or reacting in ways that don't quite make sense.
Or perhaps there's something you've been meaning to work through for a long time, but between work, family and everything else, finding the time keeps getting pushed aside.
An EMDR Intensive offers dedicated time to focus on what you've been carrying, without trying to fit everything into a weekly hour.
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) is a gentle, structured therapy that helps your brain process experiences that feel “stuck”, whether they’re big or small, recent or from the past. When memories or emotions remain unprocessed, they can show up as anxiety, overwhelm, flashbacks, or emotional patterns that feel hard to shift.
Through guided eye movements, tapping, or sound, EMDR helps the brain reprocess these experiences so they feel less distressing over time.
EMDR does not erase memories. It helps you integrate them so they no longer feel as overwhelming or disruptive in daily life
EMDR Intensive Therapy Package
An EMDR Intensive is a focused and personalised block of therapy delivered across two weeks. It creates dedicated time and space to work on a specific memory, experience, trigger or pattern that continues to feel stuck.
Sessions may include EMDR alongside grounding, resourcing and nervous system regulation strategies, depending on what you need. The work is carefully paced and tailored to you, with time between sessions to rest, reflect and allow things to settle.
EMDR Intensives are available on the Central Coast NSW and online across Australia.
What to expect during an Intensive?
Your intensive is carefully structured and paced:
A personalised plan tailored to your needs
EMDR sessions delivered gently and intentionally
Breaks, grounding, and resourcing throughout
Integration of insights between sessions
A follow-up session to consolidate progress
The process is structured and supported, but always guided at your pace.
You are never rushed, the pace is guided by your nervous system and readiness.
Could an EMDR Intensive be right for you?
EMDR Intensives offer a different way of engaging in therapy, with dedicated time, focused support and continuity across sessions.
An EMDR Intensive may be right for you if you:
Have a particular memory, experience, trigger or pattern you'd like to work through.
Feel like therapy sometimes loses momentum between sessions.
Understand why something affects you, but still find yourself caught in the same feelings or reactions.
Are preparing for or moving through a significant life transition.
Would prefer a focused block of therapy rather than weekly appointments.
Feel ready to engage in trauma-focused work, with dedicated time and space to focus on yourself.
An Intensive isn't necessarily the right starting point for everyone.
If you're currently experiencing a crisis, need more gradual support, or aren't sure you're ready for trauma-focused work, regular therapy may be a better place to begin. And if you're unsure, that's completely okay. We can talk through what you're hoping to work on during a complimentary 20-minute discovery call and explore whether an EMDR Intensive is a suitable fit for you.

An Intensive isn't the right fit for everyone, and that's okay.
I offer a complimentary 20-minute discovery call where we can talk about what you're hoping to work on, answer your questions and explore whether this approach is suitable for you.
If more gradual support or preparation would be helpful, we can discuss other options before making any decisions.

Yes. I offer EMDR Intensives in person at East Gosford on the Central Coast, as well as online across Australia.
Online EMDR follows the same structured approach, with adjustments to suit the Telehealth setting. We can discuss whether online or in-person sessions would be most appropriate for you during your discovery call.
-
No. You don't need to share every detail of a difficult experience for EMDR to be helpful.
We'll explore what you'd like to work on and what's relevant to the therapy, but the focus isn't on repeatedly telling your story.
You're always able to let me know what feels comfortable to share, and we'll work together at a pace that respects your needs.
-
It's understandable to feel nervous about working through difficult experiences, particularly when you're setting aside a longer period of time for therapy.
Your Intensive includes preparation, grounding strategies, breaks and opportunities to check in throughout the sessions.
We'll pay attention to how you're responding and adjust the pace when needed. You won't be expected to push through something simply because we've set aside the time.
-
Your package includes a one-hour follow-up session where we can check in, reflect on your experience and discuss any changes you've noticed.
Some people feel they've made meaningful progress towards their goals, while others may benefit from further processing or ongoing support.
There's no expectation that everything will be resolved in one Intensive. We'll discuss what feels helpful for you moving forward.
-
Yes. Flexible payment plans are available. Your intensive must be paid in full prior to your first session. We can discuss a payment schedule that works for you when you book.
For health professionals and referrers
If you work with women through fertility, pregnancy, birth or the postnatal period, or with clients whose trauma or anxiety needs more than one hour a week, an EMDR Intensive may be a helpful option to offer them.
I’m an Accredited EMDR Practitioner and Full Member of EMDRAA, and a Clinical Resource Therapist, based in East Gosford and working online Australia-wide. Intensives are 7 hours of dedicated therapy across two weeks, with preparation, a tailored workbook and a follow-up session.
Every client has a free 20-minute discovery call first, so we can check suitability together. If an intensive isn’t the right fit (for example, if someone is in crisis or needs more gradual support), I’ll talk through other options with them (and, with their consent, keep you informed).
