to heal trauma wounds

Freedom to Breathe

Where compassionate presence meets evidence-based therapy.

Based in Anglesea, Victoria, I offer in-person EMDR intensives and couples immersive therapy designed for those ready to move beyond weekly sessions and dive deeply into healing.

Drawing on EMDR, Schema Therapy, and Systemic approaches, I create a trauma-informed space for meaningful, lasting change.

Let’s create change together.

Hi there, I’m Rachael Jolly

I offer trauma therapy that goes deeper.

I'm a therapist passionate about trauma and relational healing.

I work with individuals and couples seeking meaningful, lasting change through in-person therapy on Victoria’s Surf Coast.

At Freedom to Breathe, I offer:

  • EMDR intensives for focused trauma integration

  • Couples immersive therapy to restore connection and shift relational patterns

  • A systemic, compassionate approach grounded in EMDR, Schema Therapy, and nervous system-informed care

Together, we’ll explore how your experiences are shaped not just by what’s happened, but by the systems, relationships, and roles you’ve lived within.

This is a space to untangle those layers so you can breathe more freely, connect more deeply, and move forward with clarity.

How I can support you

    EMDR Intensive Programs

    Ready for a deeper, more focused approach to healing?

    My EMDR intensives are designed for individuals who want to work beyond the limits of weekly sessions. These immersive programs draw on EMDR, Schema Therapy, and systemic approaches to help you process distressing memories, shift entrenched beliefs, and release somatic tension.

    This is a spacious, supported way to move through trauma with intention, whether you’re navigating recent events or long-held patterns.

  • LOVELY AND TALENTED

  • SO CALM AND RESPONSIVE

    After 40 years of carrying trauma, I reached out to Rachel not having had any previous experience in EMDR or trauma therapy. At first, I was very nervous, however Rachel was so calm and responsive to my nervousness at the first appointment, I found myself being able to relax.”

  • PROFOUND EXPERIENCE

    “I found my experience with Rachael to be profound. I really enjoyed the intensive style of work. Although it was indeed intense, I felt deeply safe with Rachael at all times no matter what came up in the reprocessing.”
