How to Choose the Right EMDR Equipment for Your Practice
Share
A practical guide for EMDR therapists navigating their equipment options
Whether you're setting up your first EMDR practice or upgrading your existing tools, choosing the right equipment can feel overwhelming. At AEMDRA, we design and manufacture our equipment right here in Australia, specifically for therapists who need reliable, professional-grade tools that work seamlessly in a clinical setting. This guide breaks down our product range so you can find the best fit for your practice.
Understanding Your Options: Wired vs. Wireless
One of the first decisions you'll face is whether to go wired or wireless. Both have their place in a clinical setting, and the right choice depends on your session style, budget, and how much flexibility you need.
Wireless setups offer freedom of movement for both therapist and client. There are no cables to manage, no tripping hazards, and the overall setup looks cleaner and less clinical — which can help clients feel more at ease. Wireless equipment is ideal if you work across multiple rooms, do home visits, or simply prefer a streamlined workspace.
Wired setups are a dependable, cost-effective option. They're straightforward to use, require no charging between sessions, and are a great entry point for therapists who are new to EMDR or working within a tighter budget.
The AEMDRA Product Range at a Glance
AEMDRA Next Generation Wireless Full Kit — $949 AUD
Best for: Therapists who want everything in one package
The Full Kit is our most comprehensive offering and the go-to choice for therapists who want a complete, ready-to-use setup from day one. It includes:
- Wireless light bar for bilateral visual stimulation
- Wireless buzzies (tactile stimulation)
- Headphones for auditory bilateral stimulation
- Remote control for easy, discreet session management
- Tripod for flexible light bar positioning
With all three modalities — visual, tactile, and auditory — covered in a single kit, you have the flexibility to adapt to each client's needs without needing additional equipment. If you're building out a full EMDR practice or want the most versatile setup available, this is the one.
AEMDRA Next Generation Wireless Light Bar ONLY — $649 AUD
Best for: Therapists who already have buzzies or prefer visual stimulation
If you already own a set of buzzies or primarily use visual bilateral stimulation in your sessions, the standalone wireless light bar is a smart, cost-effective choice. You get the same premium wireless light bar included in the Full Kit — without paying for components you don't need.
This option is also popular with therapists who are expanding an existing setup or replacing an older light bar.
Next Gen Wireless Buzzies Pro — $529.99 AUD
Best for: Therapists who prefer tactile stimulation or need a portable option
The Wireless Buzzies Pro are our premium handheld tactile stimulation devices. Wireless and compact, they're ideal for therapists who:
- Prefer tactile over visual bilateral stimulation
- Work in settings where a light bar isn't practical (e.g., home visits, telehealth-adjacent setups)
- Want a highly portable option that fits easily in a bag
Many therapists also pair the Buzzies Pro with the standalone light bar to build a custom wireless kit at their own pace.
Next Gen Wired Mini-Kit — $429 AUD
Best for: Therapists starting out or working within a budget
The Wired Mini-Kit is our most accessible option and a fantastic starting point for therapists who are new to EMDR or want a reliable backup kit. While it uses a wired connection rather than wireless, it delivers the same quality bilateral stimulation you'd expect from AEMDRA.
If you're completing your EMDR training, setting up a part-time practice, or simply want a dependable kit without the premium price tag, the Mini-Kit is an excellent choice.
The AEMDRA App: Seamless Session Control
All AEMDRA wireless products integrate with the AEMDRA app, giving you intuitive control over your equipment directly from your phone or tablet. Adjust speed, intensity, and stimulation patterns between — or even during — sessions without interrupting the therapeutic flow. It's a small feature that makes a big difference in practice.
