If you have trauma, ongoing anxiety, depression, phobias or chronic pain, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) might be suitable for you. ART is known as the fastest methodology for clearing Trauma and is like a super-charged adaptation of EMDR for those who are familiar with it. EMDR therapists who are trained in both, often report ART as being quicker at resolving trauma. Like EMDR, ART uses Eye-Movements to process and clear the pain associated with the trauma. It doesn’t remove the facts of the event, but removes the distress you feel about it. Despite the name, ART has nothing to do with creative arts.

Appointment 1 – In our first appointment (50 mins), I will do a pre-screening and prepare you for the processing session. In this session we do not process any trauma, nor do I need to you to go into details of specific events. Please note, if you have a diagnosed dissociation disorder, please email me first to see if ART is suitable for you. If your trauma is related to a sexual assault, click here.

Processing sessions  – Sessions take 80-90 minutes. I recommend you clear your schedule for a few hours afterwards as ART can fatigue your brain and body. You don’t have to go into detail of your trauma in these sessions. In fact it is possible to do ART without discussing your trauma at all. 

Pricing – The intake session is $190. Processing sessions are $260. Processing trauma usually occurs in 1-3 session, which is much quicker when compared to traditional talk therapy which often requires 12-16 sessions to reduce (not clear) trauma. 

Do I book this? Please book a standard 50 minute ‘Individual counselling/sexology appointment’ to get started. If you want to secure a time for your processing session, you may also book an ‘Accelerated Resolution Trauma Therapy’  appointment, or we can book this in your first session.
