EMDR is a structured, and strongly evidence-based therapy that supports people in processing and healing from past trauma, distressing memories, and negative beliefs. At Attuned Mind, EMDR is offered in a safe, collaborative environment to help reduce the emotional intensity of painful experiences, supporting the brain’s natural ability to recover. By utilising bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, EMDR enables the brain to reprocess and resolve troubling memories, allowing for lasting emotional healing.
As a trained psychotherapist, Amy offers EMDR therapy to assist individuals in overcoming negative thought patterns and restoring balance to their emotional wellbeing. This approach can be utilised for a wide range of mental health worries, particularly helpful for those navigating PTSD, anxiety, or difficult life events, allowing for greater emotional balance and relief over time.

While both eating disorders and disordered eating involve challenges with an individual's relationship with food, body image and self-worth, they differ in severity and diagnosis. Eating disorders—such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder—are clinically recognised mental health conditions that often require specialised support, and individuals may experience significant preoccupation with body weight, shape and size or experience body dysmorphia. Disordered eating, on the other hand, includes a range of disruptive eating behaviours (like chronic dieting, food restriction, or emotional eating) that may not meet diagnostic criteria but can still have a significant impact on wellbeing.
For someone experiencing disordered eating or an eating disorder, Amy is a Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician with ANZAED and can provide;
