Ritchie Wong - Psychologist & EMDR Therapist

Ritchie supported me to address distressing events that occurred during childhood. I found that EMDR (while sometimes tough and draining) is a worthwhile form of therapy if you're ready to face the issues that are holding you back from living a lighter, more fulfilled life. Ritchie is a kind and understanding practitioner and I appreciate that he offers sessions online so that no travel is involved. Did I find EMDR easy? No. Was it worth it? Yes.

There are plenty of good things that can be said about Ritchie and his methods. Beyond his evident expertise in the forms of therapy he adopts, he truly lives within his values as a psychologist. And this is what made the most difference for me: he cares about making a connection with you as human, other than simply a patient.Other than practicing EMDR - which helped me uncover and process insecurities and fears that had been dormant practically my entire life - Ritchie was genuinely interested in my story, in a way that I have not experienced with other professionals in the field.I can imagine that in this line of work it's easy to fall prey of your technical training, and end up focusing purely on the issues while forgetting about the person that has them. If there's such a thing as an ideal balance between the technical and human aspects of psychological treatment, this guy has found it.Highly recommended!

Aged 62, I have had four EMDR appointments with Ritchie to treat unresolved childhood trauma and related anxiety. EMDR was a revelation: at the end of each day I felt as if ‘a switch had been tripped’ in my brain, because the positive effects arrived so fast.A month later I remain stronger, more confident, assertive, resilient, secure, and relaxed than before. I feel more ‘integrated’ and comfortable in my own skin. Life feels much easier to deal with and I’m happier. I also feel a deep certainty that these are permanent changes.I am very grateful for Ritchie’s compassion and skills, and wholeheartedly recommend his therapy to anyone still suffering the long-term effects of childhood trauma or PTSD.

Ritchie is an incredible therapist. EMDR is very effective at changing a person's negative reactions to painful and traumatic memories, and I'm glad I found Ritchie to help me through.He is a great listener and really cares about his patients, and it is always a genuine pleasure to speak to him. I felt very calm during my sessions and a sense of relief at the end of each session.

Ritchie has been my therapist for about two years now, and I am immensely grateful for everything he has done for me. I would not have been able to cope had I not had his support. While there is still work to be done, handling life is now much easier, as I have realised my worth and re-gained my self-esteem. I treat myself with love and care, and I have been able to make some extremely positive changes in all aspects of my existence.Thank you, Ritchie!

I am so grateful with Ritchie for working with me on my treatment, with his help I have shifted positevley my life. Highly recommend.

I was recommended EMDR as a complementary treatment for PTSD and childhood trauma-related issues after finishing another treatment called TRTP. I had thought TRTP was life-changing in itself but Ritchie took my recovery and health to a whole new level with EMDR! Ritchie is extremely calm, professional and is able to create incredible outcomes for clients in such a short time. After every session I became lighter and more relaxed, letting go of the 're-play loop' in my sub-conscious mind of traumatic experiences of the past. EMDR has totally changed my life in so many positive ways, I no longer have the same internal emotional reactions to external triggers that would have debilitated me in the past. Thanks to Ritchie's, I now have so much clarity around the relationships in my life that I can interact and experience these with a more positive, calm and confident approach going forward.

I have been seeing Ritchie for about 6 months and there has been a significant improvement in my well-being. Ritchie guided me through EMDR therapy and helped me resolve childhood trauma and related issues. My self-esteem has improved a lot and my depression and anxiety are reduced as well. Before Ritchie EMDR therapy, I have seen many psychologists and did not see lasting results in my overall mood. I can now deal with challenges in my life with confidence and treat myself with love and respect. I am forever grateful for Ritchie's help and highly recommend EMDR therapy.

I've had the honor of having Ritchie as my therapist for over a year now. Ritchie specializes in early childhood traumas and PTSD. I was specifically looking for someone who does EMDR, which at the time I knew nothing about, except reading Bessel Van Der Kolk's book Body Keeps the Score". I've had one other therapist before Ritchie and Ritchie compares very favorably in that regard. He is conscientious and remembers the details of our sessions really well. I find his manner comforting and reassuring so that my memories are easy to express and process. EMDR has been quite a find for me. It's has made a huge difference in terms of emotional and physical healing. This kind of therapy works on the brain as well as the mind

Just wanted to give a BIG thanks to Ritchie for the work he did with me and the positive outcome I've had from EMDR Therapy. Not only is Ritchie a great bloke, his therapy has helped my to deal with my recent anxiety issues and return to a normal life.If anyone is considering trying EMDR Therapy, I can assure you there is nothing to consider - DO IT! Make an appointment now with Ritchie or as soon as you can. Thanks Ritchie!
