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.

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.

Why choose an Intensive?

EMDR Intensives offer a different way of engaging in therapy, with dedicated time and continuity of care.

They may be helpful if you:

  • Want to work on a specific memory, experience, trigger or pattern

  • Feel therapy often loses momentum between sessions

  • Are preparing for or moving through a significant life transition

  • Want structured, focused support

  • Feel ready to engage in trauma-focused therapy

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.

Who it’s For?

An EMDR Intensive may be right for you if you:

  • Have a particular memory, experience, trigger or pattern you'd like to work on.

  • Feel ready to engage in trauma-focused therapy.

  • Would like a more focused block of therapy rather than weekly sessions.

  • Are looking for dedicated time and space to work through something that continues to feel stuck.

An Intensive may not be the right place to start if you’re currently in crisis, need more gradual support, or aren’t sure you’re ready to explore trauma-focused work.

If you’re unsure, that’s completely okay. We can talk through what’s happening for you during a complimentary 20-minute discovery call and work out whether an Intensive feels like a good fit.

Questions

  • Kate offers a:

    7-Hour Intensive

    • Three 2-hour sessions over two weeks

    • One 1-hour follow-up session

  • An EMDR Intensive gives you dedicated time and space to focus on something that has been feeling stuck, without the longer gaps between weekly sessions.

    Working in a more concentrated format can help you stay connected to the work and maintain continuity across your sessions.

    Some people find an Intensive helpful because it offers:

    • Focused time to work on a particular memory, experience, trigger or pattern

    • Longer sessions, allowing more time to settle into the work without needing to stop after an hour

    • Continuity between sessions, with less time for the therapy process to be interrupted

    • A clear timeframe, with the intensive completed across two weeks

    • Dedicated space for you, away from the usual demands and distractions of everyday life

    Everyone responds differently to therapy, and an Intensive won't be the right fit for everyone. The best approach depends on your individual needs, circumstances and what you're hoping to work on.

  • EMDR Intensives aren't the right fit for everyone. Kate offers a complimentary 20-minute discovery call to discuss your goals, answer your questions, and determine whether an intensive is the most appropriate approach for your needs.

    If another way of working together would better support your healing, Kate will discuss those options with you. The call is also an opportunity for you to decide whether you feel comfortable with Kate's approach.

  • Every intensive is tailored to your individual needs, combining EMDR Therapy and Resource Therapy where appropriate.

    Your sessions may include:

    • history taking and assessment

    • preparation and resourcing

    • grounding and regulation strategies

    • EMDR reprocessing

    • integration and planning for ongoing support

    The aim is to help you process memories safely while feeling supported throughout the experience.

  • Yes, Kate delivers her EMDR Intensive therapy packages in person with people on the Central Coast NSW and online across Australia via Telehealth.

  • No. You don't need to recount every detail of your experiences for EMDR to be helpful.

    We'll identify what you'd like to work on and what feels relevant, but the focus isn't on repeatedly telling your whole story. EMDR uses a structured process to help you work with memories, emotions, thoughts and body responses in a way that feels manageable.

    You remain in control of what you share, and we'll work at a pace that feels appropriate for you.

  • Feeling emotional at times is a normal part of trauma therapy. EMDR Intensives are carefully paced, with preparation, grounding strategies and regular breaks built into the program. Kate works collaboratively with you throughout the process to ensure you feel as safe and supported as possible.

  • Everyone's experience is unique. Some people notice changes during or shortly after their intensive, while others experience more gradual improvements over the following days and weeks as their brain continues to process the work completed. Depending on your goals, some people find one intensive is enough, while others choose to continue with additional sessions or ongoing therapy.

  • EMDR Intensives allow you to dedicate focused time to your healing without the interruptions of weekly appointments. Many people find that longer sessions create momentum, allowing them to work more deeply with fewer breaks between sessions. They can also be a practical option for people travelling for therapy or those with demanding work or family commitments.

  • EMDR Intensives may be helpful for people experiencing the effects of trauma or other distressing life experiences. They can be beneficial for concerns including:

    • PTSD and complex trauma

    • Childhood trauma

    • Birth trauma

    • Medical trauma

    • Anxiety

    • Grief and loss

    • Phobias

    • Distressing life events

    • Performance or confidence blocks

    During your discovery call, we'll discuss whether an EMDR Intensive is the most appropriate approach for your individual circumstances.

  • The $200 deposit secures your intensive dates and is non-refundable.

  • 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.
