Trauma content that actually helps — from someone who knows what she's talking about.

I’m Helen Billows, a psychologist and accredited EMDR therapist, consultant, and training facilitator. 

 

Full-time trauma therapist.

Part-time podcast host.

All-the-time nerd.

Most trauma content online is either too clinical to be useful or too vague to be trusted. This is neither.

My work sits at the intersection of trauma research, and what eight years and over 7,000 trauma therapy sessions have shown really happens in the therapy room.

 Whether I'm podcasting, writing, or speaking, the goal is the same:

clinically accurate, accessible, and actually useable.

Looking for therapy or EMDR consultation?

I run a full-time trauma and EMDR therapy and consultation practice at Billows Psychology.

Why people come to my work

Psychologists can't use testimonials under AHPRA regulations.

What I can share: I'm registered with the Psychology Board of Australia (PSY0002178432) and hold consultant-level accreditation with the EMDR Association of Australia. I'm one of fewer than ten psychologists in South Australia to hold this level of EMDR credentialing.

People tell me they value that I take trauma seriously, explain concepts clearly, and stay grounded in evidence rather than trends.

I bring clinical rigour, intellectual honesty, and a commitment to what works. Not just what sounds good or looks good on social media.

I respect both the science and the lived experience, and I'm upfront about the limits of what we know.
