Healing Helping Educating

EMDR Academy Australia was founded by Dr Jenny Dwyer to build capacity, support practitioners, and expand access to EMDR. As a mental health therapy recommended by the World Health Organisation, we believe access to EMDR is a human right—it shouldn’t depend on where you live, your circumstances, or your age or cultural background.

Drawing on Jenny’s experience as a social worker and child and family therapist, EMDR Academy was established with a broader vision than simply training therapists. We know that the people most affected by trauma are often the least able to access effective care. Our work aims to strengthen the workforce and the systems that support healing—for individuals, families and communities, across the lifespan, and in ways that meet the needs of our diverse community.

That vision is reflected in everything we do. We provide EMDR training at every level, develop innovative clinical programs, support ongoing professional growth through consultation and advanced workshops, contribute to research, and work in partnership with organisations and leaders across the field. As we grow, we remain committed to supporting fresh ideas, developing future leaders, and expanding access to high-quality EMDR.
