Childhood wounds don't have to stay adult patterns. Or family legacies.
I’m Helen Billows, a psychologist and accredited EMDR therapist, consultant, and training facilitator.
I've spent eight years and over 7,000 sessions helping people heal childhood trauma and break the patterns it creates — in their lives and in their families.
You've done the reading. You've tried therapy. You understand the patterns.
Yet they still seem to run the show.
Most trauma content tells you what's wrong. I show you how to fix it.
I've dedicated my career to trauma therapy. I have EMDR accreditation, advanced trauma training, and I supervise other therapists to teach them how to do good work.
But I also know it from the other side. I've sat in the client chair. I've done the healing work myself. And now I'm raising my son while refusing to pass any of it forward.
No more reading seventeen articles and still not knowing what to do. No more contradictory advice. No more googling "did I just traumatise my kid?" at 2am.
I translate evidence-based trauma therapy into resources you can use.
I know what works. I package it for you. Problem solved.
Some people knit.

What my work is built on
AHPRA regulations mean psychologists can't use client testimonials. Here's what I can tell you.
I've delivered 7,000+ trauma therapy sessions. This is not generalist work — trauma is my entire clinical focus.
I hold consultant-level EMDR accreditation through the EMDR Association of Australia — a level of advanced trauma training that only a small number of psychologists possess in Australia.
I'm one of a small number of clinicians selected to train other therapists in EMDR across Australia.
People tell me they value I take trauma seriously, explain it clearly, and stay grounded in evidence rather than trends. I'm also upfront about the limits of what we know, because that's what clinical honesty looks like.
