Hi, I'm Helen
A psychologist, EMDR clinician & supervisor committed to helping you feel better — not just cope.
Psychologist, EMDR therapist, and, let's be honest,
trauma-obsessed nerd.
When I'm not wrangling my toddler, you'll find me deep in research, reading the latest on EMDR, or diving into yet another advanced training.
I’m committed to staying at the forefront of trauma therapy, because cutting-edge care means more effective healing.
I don't want to just help you cope.
I want to help you heal.
I want to help you genuinely feel better, not just learn how to manage better. Coping strategies have their place, but I focus on addressing the root cause to create genuine and lasting change.
If that sounds like what you've been looking for, let's get started.

Trauma education and resources from a psychologist who actually knows what she's on about. Zero faff.
You're sick of being taught
coping strategies.
You want to actually feel better.
My favourite word: effective. If it doesn't work, I'm not interested. I use research-backed, trauma-focused approaches that can shift things, not just manage them better. I've got advanced training and a deep understanding of the impact of trauma. I focus on what evidence shows will actually help you heal.
EMDR can treat anxiety, phobias and depression — not just trauma. When we address the root cause, the presenting problem often shifts too. That's what root-cause therapy looks like.
Research shows online EMDR is just as effective as in-person. I've got all the gear to give you a brilliant virtual therapy experience. For many people, online EMDR can be a better option. Process in your pyjamas. Not a bad deal.
EMDR Therapy Adelaide
I use eye-movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful and effective trauma release therapy. EMDR has major scientific backing. I've dedicated my career to trauma and EMDR therapy, and I'm one of the most highly trained EMDR psychologists in Adelaide (and South Australia). I’m accredited as an EMDR therapist and supervisor by the EMDR Association of Australia. This means I also provide supervision to budding EMDR therapists. I take EMDR therapy results seriously and I'm dedicated to your genuine healing. With me, you're in skilled hands getting therapy that actually helps.
I'm an EMDRAA-accredited EMDR consultant. That's the peak standard for EMDR practice in Australia. I offer EMDR consultation for therapists who want to sharpen their skills. You'll feel more confident and deliver better outcomes for your clients. Whether you're working toward accreditation or want to refine your formulation, I’m here to help. I want you to get the most out of your EMDR practice and grow into the EMDR therapist of your dreams.
Did You Know Anyone Can Call Themselves an EMDR Therapist?
In Australia, there's no requirement to be accredited in order to say you offer EMDR therapy. That means your therapist could have done an online course and nothing else.
EMDRAA accreditation means a therapist has proven their clinical skills to the peak EMDR body in Australia. I hold accreditation as both an EMDR therapist and supervisor — the highest level available. I also help run EMDR training events in Australia.
Even if you don't work with me, check the EMDRAA website. Make sure your therapist is accredited (I want you to be well looked after). Alternatively, book with me here.
