Trauma counselling and EMDR

EMDR Therapy in Geelong, Teesdale & Golden Plains

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a therapeutic approach used to help people process distressing or traumatic experiences that continue to affect their thoughts, emotions, body responses or everyday life.

At Golden Plains Counselling and Social Support, EMDR is incorporated into a trauma-informed therapeutic approach and is considered alongside each person's individual circumstances, needs and goals.

EMDR may be considered for people experiencing difficulties associated with trauma, anxiety, distressing memories and other experiences that continue to have an impact on their wellbeing.

Natalie Smith is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker providing counselling and therapeutic support to adults, adolescents and children in Geelong, Teesdale, Bannockburn and surrounding Golden Plains communities.

  • Understanding EMDR therapy

EMDR is an evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, emotional triggers, and adverse life events. By utilising bilateral stimulation such as eye movements, EMDR reduces the emotional charge of painful memories, helping you establish adaptive beliefs and restore inner stability.
