A place to pause from the scroll.

Your breath is always there.
Even just the one conscious breath can create a shift and reset for you during a busy day.

I offer trauma therapy in nipaluna / Hobart and online across Australia.

Does EMDR work in person and online?
It absolutely does.

For some, online sessions feel even more supportive. Being in your own space can bring a greater sense of comfort and safety, and reduce barriers to accessing therapy.

EMDR taps into your brain’s natural ability to process and heal. And that process can happen wherever you feel safest.

“Glimmers” is a term from polyvagal theory that describes small, everyday moments that give us a sense of safety or awe.

Maybe it’s the autumn leaves in all their shifting colours, or the crisp, cool air here in nipaluna. Maybe it’s watching your dog stretch in his sleep, or cradling a warm cup of tea.

Glimmers aren’t big, significant events but they have a significant impact on our nervous system when we pay attention to them. These subtle moments support nervous system regulation and build our capacity to move between stress and contentment with more ease.

Before your therapy sessions, I take a moment to prepare the space, not just the room, but I also prepare myself.

We know from polyvagal theory that a calm, regulated nervous system supports co-regulation and I want the space to feel safe enough.

I am often moved by what’s shared and so between sessions I take a moment to acknowledge what’s happened in a session and reconnect.

I like to offer somewhere we can just be, together.

Have you heard of parts therapy? There are various parts approaches that are being incorporated into other therapy modalities. Parts therapy fits really well with EMDR, CBT, narrative therapy, somatic approaches and mindfulness.

I am inspired by the Internal Family Systems (IFS) and most of my parts approach is drawn from IFS. I’m often recommending No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz, the creator of Internal Family Systems. Have you read it and wha did you think?

If you’re interested in a get to know you call, to see if we’re the right fit, please reach out. I offer trauma therapy in Hobart nipaluna.

What to expect in trauma therapy and EMDR Hobart?

EMDR is a trauma therapy that reduces emotional intensity of traumatic memories.

With the use of stimulation or activities that tax the working brain, like eye movement, tapping or physical movement, EMDR helps the brain reprocess memories.
