Counselling and EMDR Therapy
Billinudgel · Northern Rivers NSW · Online across Australia
We all carry experiences that shape the way we see ourselves, our relationships and the world around us. Some leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected. Therapy offers the time and space to explore those experiences with curiosity and compassion, and to better understand yourself and what comes next.
Hi, I’m Larissa.
I’m a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor and EMDR therapist, offering counselling and EMDR therapy to adults and young people aged 16+ both in person in Billinudgel, Northern Rivers NSW, and online across Australia.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be navigating the impact of trauma, anxiety, ADHD, grief, relationship difficulties or a significant life transition. You may have a clear sense of what’s brought you here, or simply know that something doesn’t feel quite right.
My role isn’t to tell you what to do. It’s to understand your story, listen with curiosity, and work alongside you as we explore what is happening and what moving forward might look like.
My approach is grounded in humanistic values and informed by EMDR, person centred therapy, ACT, mindfulness and psychoeducation. Rather than following a set formula, I draw on these approaches thoughtfully, adapting therapy to your needs, goals and experiences.
Above all, I aim to offer a warm, collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship where you can feel heard, better understand yourself, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
How I Can Help
Areas of Practice
-
01
Counselling
Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or trying to make sense of longer patterns in your life, counselling offers a confidential space to pause, reflect and gain perspective. Together, we explore what is happening, what may be contributing to your difficulties, and what might help. Along the way, we draw on practical strategies, self-understanding and your existing strengths to support meaningful change.

EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process distressing experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. It can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, distressing memories and experiences that continue to feel present long after they have occurred. EMDR works with the brain's natural capacity to heal, often without needing to revisit every detail of the past.

03
ADHD Support
ADHD can affect far more than attention and organisation. It often influences self-esteem, relationships, emotional regulation, work, study and the way people understand themselves. Whether you've recently received a diagnosis or have long wondered if ADHD may explain some of your experiences, counselling can help you better understand your patterns, make sense of your history and develop strategies that work for your life.
