About Monique
I’m a psychologist and accredited EMDR practitioner who believes therapy is a space for curiosity, compassion, openness, growth, and even humour.
I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves
I often work with clients who might be experiencing:
-
Trauma or distressing experiences
-
Anxiety or overwhelm
-
Phobias
-
Self-criticism and perfectionism
-
People pleasing
-
Feeling stuck in old patterns
-
Navigating life transitions
EMDR is the primary therapy I offer; however, no two people are alike and I believes therapy should person-centred, and guided by each individual’s unique lived experiences, needs, and goals.
My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion and collaboration. Drawing from a range of evidence based therapies, I works alongside clients to understand what may be keeping them feeling stuck and support meaningful change. Together, we will explore the experiences and patterns shaping your life, so you can move forward with greater flexibility, ease, and connection to what matters most.
How EMDR therapy works
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps the brain process distressing or overwhelming experiences. While difficult memories remain, they often lose their emotional intensity, allowing you to remember what happened without feeling as though you're reliving it.
EMDR helps the brain reprocess experiences that may have become "stuck," reducing their emotional impact and allowing them to be integrated in a more adaptive way. Throughout therapy, you'll remain awake, present, and in control, with treatment moving at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
