PsychologyCare Highlights Evidence-Based Trauma And Values-Based Therapies In Melbourne

PsychologyCare, a clinical psychology practice with clinics in Malvern and Prahran, is drawing attention to evidence-based approaches for mental health treatment, including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These methods are used to support adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

EMDR therapy is internationally recognised for its effectiveness in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma-related symptoms. Sessions with EMDR psychologists in Melbourne involve a structured process where clients recall distressing memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or tapping. This process aims to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories and help clients develop new, adaptive beliefs. EMDR is often chosen by individuals who have not found relief through traditional talk therapies or who are seeking a more direct, somatic approach to healing.

In addition to trauma-focused care, PsychologyCare offers ACT therapy in Melbourne, which is a values-based, evidence-informed therapy. ACT combines mindfulness practices with behaviour change strategies, guiding clients to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions aligned with personal values. The approach is designed to build psychological flexibility, supporting people to live meaningfully even in the presence of challenging emotions or circumstances.

The practice emphasises a collaborative and paced approach, tailoring sessions to individual needs and preferences.

PsychologyCare’s clinicians are experienced in a range of therapeutic modalities and work with adults seeking support for trauma, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Further information about therapy options and appointment availability can be found on the PsychologyCare website.
