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 the difficulties that quietly shape your life. For athletes and high performers, EMDR SPORT targets the psychological barriers that cap performance at their neurological root. We offer in-person sessions in Auckland as well as online sessions across New Zealand.
EMDR
Therapy
EMDR Therapy is an evidence-based treatment for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of psychological difficulties. EMDR therapy helps the brain process distressing experiences so they no longer disrupt daily life.
EMDR
SPORT
EMDR SPORT is a specialised form of EMDR therapy for athletes, high-achievers, and competitors. EMDR SPORT aims to enhance performance by removing mental barriers, helping you reach your full potential.
Evidence-based care.
Lasting change.
Process the Past. Stabilise the Present. Prepare for the Future.
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 enhancement. All services are delivered by Dr JC Coetzee Clinical Psychologist with over 23 years of experience and specialist EMDR therapy training from the University of Otago.
In-person sessions are available at three Auckland locations — Milford, Ponsonby, and Parnell — and secure online sessions are available across all of New Zealand.
EMDR therapy is endorsed by the World Health Organisation and recommended as a first-line treatment for PTSD internationally. Extensively researched and proven effective across trauma, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of presentations.
EMDR SPORT applies the same neurobiological mechanism to performance thereby clearing the unprocessed experiences that cap athletic and professional performance, and restoring full cognitive availability for skilled execution under pressure.
Both services are grounded in the AIP model: the brain is naturally wired to heal. EMDR therapy activates this innate system to resolve experiences that have become stuck restoring adaptive functioning at the neurological level.
Healing that holds.
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.
