When you’re healing from trauma, consistency is key. EMDR therapy isn’t a “one-and-done” approach – it usually takes a series of sessions to properly work through difficult memories and build healthier coping tools. That’s why the cost of therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming.

For many people, the thought of starting therapy comes with the worry: “Can I actually afford to keep going?” It’s a fair question. Mental health care should never be a luxury, but the reality is that high session fees often stop people from getting the ongoing support they need.

Affordable Online EMDR therapy means you’re more likely to stick with treatment long enough to see meaningful results. And when sessions are offered online, there are extra savings – no travel, no parking, and no taking half a day off just to get to your appointment. At Human First, we believe trauma recovery should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can pay top dollar.

What makes Human First Online EMDR Therapy affordable?

At Human First, we know that cost can be one of the biggest barriers to starting therapy. That’s why we’ve built our services to be as accessible and transparent as possible.

Most people are eligible for a Medicare rebate when they have a Mental Health Care Plan from their GP. This significantly reduces the out-of-pocket cost of each session, making ongoing EMDR therapy much more manageable.

Because all of our sessions are online, you also save money and time by not needing to travel. There are no fuel costs, no parking fees, and no time off work just to get to your appointment. Therapy can happen from the comfort of your own home, which not only helps your budget but also makes it easier to commit to regular sessions.

We’re upfront about our pricing and always happy to answer questions before you book. Our goal is simple: to remove financial stress from the process so you can focus on what really matters - your healing.

Why choose a psychologist for your EMDR therapy

EMDR is a powerful and evidence-based therapy, but it’s not something just anyone can deliver. To work safely and effectively, it requires specialised training and a deep understanding of how trauma impacts the brain and body. That’s why it’s so important to choose a qualified psychologist for your EMDR therapy.

Psychologists are trained to guide you through the process in a way that’s safe, ethical, and tailored to your unique needs. They can adjust strategies if things feel overwhelming, help you make sense of what comes up in sessions, and support you to build healthy coping tools along the way.

At Human First, our psychologists are experienced in working with trauma and are committed to walking alongside you at every step of your recovery. Choosing a psychologist for EMDR therapy means you’re not just getting a technique. You’re getting the care, knowledge, and professional support needed to make lasting change.

What to expect from affordable online EMDR therapy

Starting something new can feel a little daunting, especially when it comes to trauma therapy. The good news is that online EMDR sessions are designed to be safe, structured, and supportive all from the comfort of your own home.

In your first session, your psychologist will take the time to get to know you, understand your history, and talk through your goals. You’ll have a chance to ask questions, share any worries, and set the pace together. From there, your therapist will guide you through EMDR’s unique process, using techniques like bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or sounds) to help your brain reprocess distressing memories in a healthier way.

Because sessions happen online, everything is done through a secure telehealth platform. You’ll just need a quiet, private space, a stable internet connection, and either a computer or phone. Many people find that being at home actually makes it easier to relax and fully engage with therapy.

Every step is about working at your pace. Some people notice changes quickly, while others find it’s a more gradual process — both are completely normal. What matters most is that you’ll have professional support guiding you along the way, and a treatment plan that fits your needs and budget.
