Caitlin Wright
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA General
Serves Area
I'm a Clinical Psychologist (she/her) based in St Leonards, passionate about supporting teenagers and adults through trauma, anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and low self-worth. My approach is highly relational—the connection we build is central to the work. I believe meaningful change begins with self-understanding. As we develop awareness of our patterns, needs, and values, we can start to feel more grounded, shift long-held beliefs, heal the nervous system, and better navigate life’s challenges.

Psychotherapist, PACFA

When you've spent so long trying to keep the peace or make sense of someone else's behaviour, it's easy to lose sight of yourself. You may be navigating a relationship shaped by narcissistic traits, recovering from domestic/family violence, or managing family conflict that has left you questioning your reality. Our work together isn't about labelling or diagnosing the people in your life. Rather, making sense of what you've lived through and how it has shaped the way you see yourself and your relationships. Together, we'll gently untangle patterns like self-doubt, people pleasing, and hypervigilance with curiosity and compassion.

Counsellor, MA, ACA-L2
Serves Area
I integrate Focusing, Somatic EMDR, ACT, NeuroAffective Touch and other somatic approaches, choosing what best supports you in each moment.
By the time many people find me, they're often exhausted. They've worked incredibly hard to feel better, yet something still isn't shifting. Many have tried therapy, read the books, practised mindfulness, or explored nervous system and body-based approaches. Some things may even have helped for a while. But life still feels harder than it should. If you're wondering why you're still struggling, you're not alone. I work with people who are tired of fighting themselves and ready for a different approach.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
