PTSD therapy using EMDR.

I'm not into bandaid solutions.
I want you to genuinely
feel better.
Meet Helen
Hello! I'm a psychologist, EMDR therapist, and, quite frankly, trauma-obsessed nerd. My spare time involves trauma and EMDR-focussed reading, research and training (when I'm not being a Mum anyways). Helping people genuinely heal from their past fulfils me and brings me joy and purpose.
I'm interested in getting to the root of your problem - not just teaching you coping strategies.
If that sounds good to you, get in touch! I'd love to dig in and see what we can achieve together.
You Deserve High-Quality Therapy That Genuinely Addresses The Problem.
Key word: EFFECTIVE. Evidence-based, scientifically supported trauma therapy tailored to your unique history, needs, and goals. With advanced training and a deep understanding of the impact of trauma, I focus on creating the conditions research shows are necessary for your healing and recovery.
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a powerful and effective therapy for treating trauma. Not to toot my own horn, but I’m one of the most highly trained EMDR therapists in Adelaide (and South Australia). I’m accredited as an EMDR practitioner by the EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA), AND as an EMDR consultant, meaning I also provide supervision to therapists learning EMDR. You can be rest assured that you will be in skilled hands receiving high quality trauma and EMDR therapy.
I’m accredited by the EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA) as an EMDR consultant, meaning they have confirmed via my training, knowledge and practice that I know my stuff. As the national body for EMDR, that basically means the EMDR police think I’m pretty alright! I was one of the first professionals in Adelaide to achieve this accreditation, and I absolutely thrive off helping other clinicians deliver excellent EMDR therapy that helps their clients. I am totally dedicated to supporting your EMDR efficacy.
Trauma therapy and EMDR are not just effective for PTSD. EMDR can help for LOTS of issues, especially when it is combined with other therapies including CBT, ACT DBT and parts therapies (like Internal Family Systems, Schema Therapy etc). I love helping people work through anxiety, depression and phobias from a trauma-focussed perspective. Remember, we’re looking at root causes here. Let’s find the core issue and heal it from the ground up.
Have you ever wanted to try Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) but found the cost or structured group format a barrier? I’ve got you covered! I am an experienced DBT group facilitator and I have created an instant access, self-paced online course. The idea being that you can learn the full suite of DBT skills (the exact same thing you would get in an in-person group) at your own pace, anytime, anywhere, at an affordable price. I also think online delivery of DBT content is BETTER than in person, for a number of reasons (go to the course page above to read more).
Is your
Adelaide EMDR therapy
accredited?
Did you know anyone can advertise EMDR therapy and/or call themselves an EMDR therapist?
In Australia there are different levels of training EMDR therapists can obtain depending on their skill and experience.
EMDR is a sophisticated therapy, and ensuring your clinician is highly trained and experienced in their practice of EMDR will likely obtain you much better therapeutic outcomes.
Possessing accreditation as a practitioner of EMDR means a clinician has demonstrated competence in the delivery of EMDR therapy. Not only is Helen fully accredited as an EMDR practitioner by the EMDR Association of Australia, but she is also accredited at a level beyond this, as an EMDR consultant! This means she has demonstrated a high level of competence and experience in the use of EMDR, and is now able to provide training in EMDR for other therapists. Helen is also a training facilitator and assists at formal EMDR therapy trainings in Adelaide.
When finding EMDR therapy in Adelaide, we strongly encourage checking the EMDRAA website to ensure your clinician is fully trained and accredited. This ensures you are receiving the highest quality care from a skilled and experienced professional.
