Billinudgel Psychology is an established psychology practice in the Northern Rivers, NSW, serving clients from Byron, the Tweed and the Gold Coast. The practice is set in a calm and welcoming environment designed to help you feel at ease from the moment you arrive.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that works with how distressing memories are stored in the brain and body, supporting deep change and healing. Growing research demonstrates that EMDR is particularly effective for trauma, PTSD, complex childhood experiences, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, phobias, and chronic pain.
The team works with adults, young people and teenagers, offering tailored support across a wide range of presentations and life stages. For those unable to attend in person, telehealth appointments are available, meaning quality EMDR therapy is accessible regardless of where you are located.
Why EMDR?
Many people come to therapy having already done a great deal of work on themselves, and still feel stuck. Others have never believed therapy could work for them, or simply don’t want to revisit painful experiences through talking. EMDR offers a different path for both.
The reason so many people remain trapped in unhelpful patterns – even after years of reflection and insight – is that difficulties rooted in past experiences are often held in the nervous system and body, not just in conscious thought. Understanding why we struggle doesn’t always free us from it. EMDR works directly with this, helping the brain process unresolved experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional weight. The result is change that goes beyond understanding, toward genuine and lasting resolution.
EMDR Intensives
Billinudgel Psychology also offers EMDR Intensives – a retreat-style, immersive, multi-day therapy experience that compresses significant healing into a shorter time frame. Led by clinical psychologist and director Gretta Bottomley, many clients find they are able to achieve in a few days what weekly or fortnightly therapy may have taken months to reach.
Our Team
The practice is home to a warm and experienced team of clinicians all trained in EMDR. The team also draws on a range of other evidence-based approaches, including ACT, CBT, Schema Therapy, and Emotion Focused Therapy, integrating these where appropriate to meet each client’s individual needs. Telehealth appointments are available. Medicare rebates apply for eligible clients with a GP referral, significantly reducing the out-of-pocket cost of care.
Reaching out is the first step. Contact the team by phone or email to arrange a brief discovery call to answer your questions and ensure you are matched with the right clinician for your needs – taking the uncertainty out of that first step.
