EMDR Psychologists and Therapists in Redcliffe, QLD
With 30 years’ experience in mental health & specialist training in Somatic Experiencing Trauma Therapy, Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, Buddhist Psychotherapy, EMDR, and Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy, I provide a holistic, evidence-based approach tailored to you.
When stress, anxiety, or past trauma begin to take over, it can feel exhausting and confusing — like your mind won’t slow down, your body won’t relax, and you’ve somehow lost touch with yourself. Many people I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, even when they’re doing their best to cope. I offer a gentle, grounded approach to counselling that helps you feel safe in your body again, calms your nervous system, & helps you reconnect with yourself. My work integrates a mindfulness & somatic (body awareness) based approach that recognises stress & trauma are held in the body, heart, & mind.

Do you often feel different from others, even if you can’t quite explain how? Do social situations feel confusing, draining, or unpredictable? Do you find comfort in routines, or become frustrated when things don’t go as planned? Perhaps you’ve always had strong interests or unique ways of thinking that others haven’t understood. Maybe you learned to “mask” these traits to fit in - but it’s left you feeling exhausted or unseen. Have you wondered whether you might be on the Autism Spectrum? Dan might be able to help.

I am trained in CBT, EMDR, ACT, SFBT, and Child Centered Play Therapy.
Anxiety, Panic, Stress, Trauma, PTSD, and OCD are my areas of focus. I also have significant experience in working with ADHD/Autism. If you are looking for a psychologist who deeply understands these experiences, who provides a tailored approach, and can balance empathy with directness, we will be a great fit. Our work together will focus on resolving root causes rather than just applying temporary fixes. This may involve addressing past hurts, problem solving current barriers, or building new skills for the future. I work with both children aged 8+ and adults.

Does your child come home from school and unleash a meltdown worthy of an Oscar? Homework battles? Friendship dramas? Or maybe it’s you—lying awake at 2am, overthinking everything, and surviving on caffeine. You’ve tried pep talks, deep breaths, and maybe even bribery… but nothing sticks. What you really want is less chaos, more calm, and to feel like yourself (and your family) again. We get it—we’re parents and humans too, and we know life doesn’t always go to plan.

My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, with EMDR as a core modality to help process difficult experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, and foster meaningful change.
As C.S. Lewis once wrote: “Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.” Holding on to the past can keep individuals from healing and moving forward. I support clients in finding the courage to let go and move through their healing journey. I offer a safe, respectful space to explore their experiences, reconnect with values, and move toward meaningful change. My approach is compassionate, integrative, and trauma-informed, with openness to incorporating Christian faith or personal beliefs when meaningful to the individual.

I am trained in various psychological modalities (CBT, ACT, EMDR, EFCT, Sex Therapy) to address problems.
Many of my clients come to me for support with their gender identity or expression, questions about sexuality, or challenges in their intimate relationships (including open and poly relationships).

I provide individualised, evidence-based therapy for adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families, drawing on CBT, ACT, Solution-Focused Therapy, IPT, DBT skills, mindfulness, and EMDR.
Many of the people who come to see me are individuals who have been carrying a lot for a long time. They may be living with anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, or depression, feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or navigating major life transitions and relationship or parenting challenges. Often, they are looking for more than coping and healing — they want to feel understood, make sense of what they’ve been through, and move forward with greater confidence, and control over their lives. Therapy becomes a space to slow down, address root causes, build practical skills, create meaningful change that supports wellbeing

For individual work, we may use Attachment Focused EMDR to help heal past attachment wounds.
I love working with individuals and couples to help them understand themselves and each other better, and to change the negative patterns that both cause and result from attachment distress. Together we can make sense of what goes wrong and help you heal and change the negative patterns that get you stuck, whether within yourself or with others. Sometimes this may involve creating enough safety to help you recognise and process past relational or attachment trauma. Sometimes it can involve recognising and exploring the experience of living with neurology that works differently than that of the majority of people.

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.
