Consultant Psychologist.

James Alexander has been a resident of the Nimbin area for the last 17 years, and has been a psychologist for over 20 years. For the last 4 years he has been providing counselling services from the Nimbin Medical Centre. Much of his work with people is around issues of depression, anxiety, substance use, and in the last few years he has developed more of an interest in working with trauma (which often/usually underlies many of these conditions). He has undergone extensive training in Eye Movement De-sensitisaton & Reprocessing (EMDR), one of the most well demonstrated effective treatments for trauma, it is a cutting edge 'human technology' being practiced in most parts of the world. One of the most effective approaches for dealing with emotional distress. It is natural, relies on no medications or substances, and actually replicates and supports the spontaneous efforts which the brain makes to process trauma.
