    We’re a psychology practice based in Kenmore, Brisbane that provides evidence based, trauma informed therapy.

    Hi I’m Suzanne, an approved and Accredited EMDR Practitioner specialising in trauma-informed therapy for clients with histories of trauma, PTSD, neglect, anxiety, unresolved grief and loss, and abuse. I offer both in-person and online therapy sessions to make quality mental health care accessible and convenient for you.

    My practice is grounded in trauma-informed approaches that prioritise safety, trust and healing. EMDR ( in person and online EMDR ) has been central to my work because of its incredible effectiveness in resolving disturbing memories and traumatic experiences to enhance mental health and overall well-being. You will find information on this site about EMDR and other evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches I use, as well as my experience and qualifications in providing compassionate care for trauma survivors.

    Professional support can get us back on our feet, reconnected with our goals and flourishing. At MWT, you will be treated with warmth and respect. You come to this work with your capacity, skills, knowledge and potential to find solutions to your own challenges.

    • Complex Trauma (multiple, often interrelated traumatic experiences)
    • Family of origin difficulties
    • Nightmares

    • Phobias or fears

    • Chronic Pain

    • Addiction including eating disorders where changing the narrative/inner dialogue you have about yourself, actions and choices is a fundamental feature underlying the disorder.

    We use evidence based trauma frameworks including ( but not limited to ) :

    Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

    An evidence based, trauma focused psychotherapy, utilising adaptive information processing and bilateral stimulation to resolve unprocessed memories. It works on the concept that when we resolve the memory, we resolve the psychopathology.

    Trauma Informed Stabilisation Treatment (TIST)

    A trauma-informed parts approach to therapy and is often the therapy of choice for Complex Trauma.

    Mindfulness

    A skills based therapy to increase awareness of our internal experience so that our capacity for effective change is empowered.

    Somatic Therapy

    An approach for treating trauma and severe stress experiences. There are many types of somatic treatment interventions, but each approach aims to bring awareness to the physical sensations of the body and understand how those sensations connect to the emotional experience.
