Welcome to
The EMDR
Therapy Clinic
Some experiences stay with us long after they should, keeping us from moving forward, living fully, and reaching our full potential. At the EMDR Therapy Clinic, we offer specialist, evidence-based EMDR therapy for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and other difficulties rooted in past experiences. For athletes, high performers and those who struggle with performance anxiety, EMDR SPORT targets the psychological barriers that negatively impact performance. At the EMDR Therapy Clinic we offer in-person sessions in Auckland as well as online sessions across New Zealand.

The EMDR Therapy Clinic is a specialist clinical psychology practice in Auckland, offering EMDR therapy for trauma and psychological healing, and EMDR SPORT for performance challenges. All services are delivered by Dr JC Coetzee, a Clinical Psychologist with over 23 years of experience and specialist EMDR therapy training from the University of Otago.
In-person sessions are available at two Auckland locations in Milford and Parnell. Secure online sessions are available across all of New Zealand.
EMDR therapy is endorsed by the World Health Organization and recommended as a first-line treatment for PTSD internationally. It is extensively researched, with a strong evidence base for trauma and PTSD and growing evidence across anxiety, depression, and other presentations.
EMDR SPORT applies EMDR therapy to performance, aiming to clear the unprocessed experiences that can cap performance and to restore fuller access to a person’s trained capacity.
EMDR therapy is grounded in the AIP model, which trusts the brain’s natural capacity to heal. It engages this innate system to help resolve experiences that have become stuck, supporting a return to adaptive functioning.
Healing through EMDR Therapy.
EMDR helped me process past trauma that I had carried for years. I finally feel lighter and more present in my everyday life.
EMDR has been an incredible experience. I felt supported, safe, and empowered throughout the process. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone navigating trauma, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm. It’s a powerful, evidence-based approach to healing and it works.
Working with Dr JC Coetzee has been one of the most grounding and healing experiences I’ve had. He brings a rare combination of deep compassion, patience, and professionalism. From the very first session, I felt safe, understood, and supported without judgement.
