EMDR Therapy Sunshine Coast

Supporting trauma recovery and emotional healing through evidence-based care

At Harmony Psychology, we offer EMDR therapy for individuals seeking support to process and recover from trauma, anxiety, or distressing life experiences. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess difficult memories so they feel less emotionally charged and disruptive.

Our trained EMDR psychologists in Sippy Downs on the Sunshine Coast provide a safe and supportive environment to help you move through what’s holding you back — with care, clarity, and connection.

What Is
EMDR Therapy?

EMDR is a psychological therapy originally developed to help people recover from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is now widely used to support a broad range of issues, including:

  • Single-incident or complex trauma

  • Anxiety and panic

  • Childhood abuse or neglect

  • Grief and loss

  • Phobias

  • Low self-worth

  • Medical or birth trauma

  • Relationship wounds or attachment issues

Rather than focusing solely on talking through past experiences, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to help the brain safely process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity..

Is EMDR Therapy Right For Me?

EMDR may be a good fit if you:

  • Feel “stuck” despite previous therapy

  • Experience distressing flashbacks or intrusive thoughts

  • Avoid certain places, topics, or memories

  • Have emotional responses that feel bigger than the moment

  • Are struggling to move forward from past events

We’ll work with you to assess whether EMDR is the right approach, or if another therapeutic modality may better suit your needs at this time..
