EMDR INTENSIVES

An immersive trauma healing experience.

EMDR Therapy located in Anglesea, Surf Coast - servicing Torquay, Geelong and Surf Coast region. Online available Australia-wide.

 

I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with 15 years experience and I’ve been an EMDR therapist for 4 years. I’m currently training to become an EMDR Consultant to further support therapists.

Located in beautiful Anglesea, Victoria, I offer in-person intensive programs. If you’re not local, you might enjoy staying in Anglesea to fully engage in the process while experiencing the stunning coastal life.

What is an EMDR intensive Program

  • EMDR intensives offer a faster, immersive healing experience compared to traditional weekly or biweekly sessions.

  • This approach is nurturing and compassionate, aiming to help you feel whole and integrated more quickly. It saves time and money while promoting calm, body connection, and better relationships.

  • Are You Ready for an EMDR Intensive Program?

    • You’re motivated to overcome feeling stuck and regain control over your life.

    • You want to move past experiences that hinder who you are or want to be and impact your relationships.

    • You seek to expand your life—whether in work, creativity, relationships, spirituality, or travel—but feel limited by past experiences.

    • You’re committed to your healing journey and need support to move forward.

    As your therapist, I will ensure you feel safe, supported, and guided with compassion.

 
 

 
 

EMDR Intensives might not be right for you if:

  • You prefer ongoing talking therapy with a regular therapist.

  • You’re dealing with suicidal thoughts, self-harm, substance abuse, or dissociation.

  • You rely on benzodiazepines, which can affect EMDR’s effectiveness.

  • You’re not ready to make changes in your life right now.

  • POSITIVE CHANGES

    “The intensive approach has also been helpful as the sessions can be quite intense so grouping them together and allowing more time has helped to create space for focus on the future and positive changes.”

  • HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    “Rachael's thought-provoking insights helped me break patterns in ways I haven't experienced with other therapists. The intensive program allowed me to work through issues more quickly than periodic sessions, leading to profound breakthroughs. I highly recommend Rachael to anyone seeking deep healing and growth.”
