EMDR Consultation
Adelaide and Australia
I'm an EMDR consultant located in Adelaide, South Australia.
I know the struggles of EMDR implementation because I've been there, done that, made that mistake & worn that t-shirt. (We have to laugh or we'll cry, right?)
My goal is to cultivate a safe space to be imperfect, make mistakes and, of course, deliver really good EMDR therapy.
I'm guessing you've probably found yourself here for one of the following reasons:
✔︎ You're enthusiastic about EMDR, and you really want to help your clients, but they keep presenting with difficulties that don't fit our textbook ideas of trauma and you're not sure how to proceed with an EMDR case conceptualisation and treatment plan.
✔︎ You are having difficulty understanding or implementing EMDR with clients (or repeatedly running into similar problems).
✔︎ You are having difficulty with protocol fidelity or getting confused trying to integrate parts approaches and other therapies into your EMDR treatment. Unpopular opinion: EMDR is a very robust therapy; With excellent fidelity you'll need parts work much less than you think you do.
✔︎ You are working towards accreditation as an EMDR practitioner or consultant.
Sound familiar? I completely understand (because you're where I was when I started out!)
Are you noticing, or doing something else?
For EMDR to be effective, clients must take on a posture of observation. As clinicians, we need to be able to identify this as a loss of dual awareness to restore effective EMDR.
For clients and clinicians alike, this resource is helpful to identify cognitive processes that ARE NOT noticing. Use this menu to help identify in a session when other mental activities are occurring and our processing is getting sidetracked.
✔︎ Warm, professional guidance that is evidence-based and consistent with contemporary understandings of traumatisation and EMDR efficacy.
✔︎ A collaborative approach - I don't know everything, and I'm committed to working WITH you to achieve excellent EMDR outcomes for you and your clients.
✔︎ Skilled guidance in using EMDR effectively with complex cases (without needing to learn entire other therapies, nor throw the kitchen sink at them).Application of EMDR that is consistent with best-practice and the evidence-base, while maintaining flexibility and creativity to support your client's healing.
✔︎ Support and guidance from someone who has tried everything, learned all the different stuff, grabbed all the the best bits and can guide you as to what's baby and what's bathwater in the EMDR world.
✔︎ Plus, if you are seeking EMDR consultation for purposes of accreditation as a practitioner or consultant, you can be rest assured that you will complete that process with confidence, and really knowing your stuff.
