Providing EMDR Therapy to the communities of the Surf Coast, Geelong & Bellarine. Online EMDR therapy available across Australia.
About Me
My name is Krisi, and I’m a Registered Mental Health Nurse and EMDR Therapist with over a decade of experience. I specialise in helping individuals navigate mental health challenges such as PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, and depression, with a particular focus on supporting those in the postnatal period. I am also IFS (Internal Family Systems) informed and dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive space for all, including the LGBTQIA+ community.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an interactive form of psychotherapy designed to alleviate psychological stress. This structured approach employs bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements, to reduce the intensity and emotional impact of traumatic memories.
When we encounter distressing situations, our natural fight, flight, or freeze responses are triggered. If these feelings persist beyond the event, they can manifest as overwhelming images, thoughts, and emotions, making us feel trapped in the moment. EMDR therapy aids the brain in processing these memories, allowing for the continuation of normal healing processes. The memories remain, but the associated distress is diminished.
Whether conducted online or in person, EMDR therapy is equally effective, and I offer support to clients across Australia via telehealth.

Testimonials
“I started seeing Krisi over 6 months ago when I wasn’t sure of what else I could be doing to better myself. Since the very first session with Krisi we immediately connected on such a beautiful level and she makes me feel so powerful and heard. I haven’t stopped seeing her since and I will continue to see her forever as she has completely changed my life and my perspective on myself. The EMDR has really worked for me and even just going to talk to Krisi makes me walk out of her office a completely different person. She has helped me so much on my self help and mental health journey and I will be forever grateful.”
— Client Testimonial
“From my first visit with Krisi, I immediately felt at ease and comfortable in her presence. EMDR can be a vulnerable space at times, but with Krisi, I’ve been able to speak about my vulnerabilities, traumas and mental health in ways I haven’t been able to before.
Every session I have with her she consistently meets me with validation, support, encouragement, advice and a judgment free environment. She always makes me feel accepted and safe by showing her understanding, being attentive and celebrating every win with me, big or small. She allows the clients to move at their own speed and really gives you the space and time you need to heal. She loves helping people with the work that she does and you can feel that in the way she treats her clients.
Krisi has drastically helped me improve my quality of life, become more aware of what my body and mind needs and be gentle with my inner child. I would highly recommend Krisi to anyone dealing with hardships or trauma.”
— Client Testimonial
“My experience with Krisi as my EMDR therapist has been nothing short of transformative. She is deeply empathetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and has an exceptional ability to create a safe, supportive environment. EMDR therapy can be intense, but Krisi ensures that I take the lead in my healing journey, always making sure I leave each session feeling grounded and secure.
From the start, Krisi's gentle encouragement during our talk sessions and her reassuring presence throughout the reprocessing process have allowed me to confront and heal significant trauma. As a result, I've been able to reframe long-held beliefs about myself, boosting my self-confidence and alleviating much of the depression that had weighed me down for years.
Krisi’s thoughtful approach and consistent care have led to profound, life-changing progress. She truly listens, values, and respects her clients, and it is clear that she is fully invested in my healing. I am deeply grateful for the positive changes I’ve experienced under her guidance..”
