Trauma Support Providers

Good Therapy is founded by Daniel Demellis (he/him), an AASW Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with postgraduate studies in a Master of Social Work. Daniel is a queer-identifying psychotherapist and brings seven years of experience in providing clinical mental health support to adults from many walks of life. Daniel seeks to harness the therapy relationship as a vehicle in supporting people to make sense of overwhelming experiences, navigate psychological and relational patterns, and ultimately, to foster a greater sense of wellbeing.

Daniel’s practice is largely centred in working with trauma survivors, including those who have experienced childhood abuse and neglect. He often works through a phased-based approach to trauma treatment which is sensitive to the impact of emotion and nervous system dysregulation, dissociative experiences and a fragmented sense of self. Daniel holds curiosity towards the longstanding impacts of early adversity and has an interest in collaboratively reprocessing traumatic memories using best practice techniques such as EMDR therapy.

Daniel is an integrative practitioner and draws from a range of evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches – including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). Additionally, he is currently undertaking accredited training in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT). Outside of private practice, Daniel works as a senior clinician in the public mental health sector, within a specialist service for people with a lived experience of complex trauma and personality disorder.

Raywyn Roberts is a clinical psychotherapist and relationship specialist providing therapy for survivors of trauma.

Her practice is guided by dignity, respect, and deep care for each person’s pace and story. She supports clients across Brisbane, Cairns, and online, ensuring accessible, confidential, and survivor centred care.

Dr Liz Jervis is a Clinical Psychologist who works with adults experiencing the impacts of complex trauma, including childhood abuse and neglect, child sexual abuse, family violence, attachment trauma, exploitation, and human trafficking.

Liz provides a safe, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients can explore their experiences at a pace that feels manageable. She understands that the effects of trauma can extend beyond traumatic memories to affect relationships, self-worth, identity, emotional regulation, and a sense of safety in the world.

Liz integrates EMDR with trauma-informed, attachment-informed, and parts-informed approaches, tailoring therapy to each client’s unique needs and goals. Her work is grounded in respect, curiosity, and an understanding of the ways people adapt to survive difficult experiences.

Prior to returning to Australia, Liz lived and worked in Cambodia, where she founded and led a multidisciplinary psychology service and worked with individuals affected by significant interpersonal trauma, including survivors of sexual violence, exploitation, and trafficking. This experience strengthened her commitment to culturally responsive and trauma-informed care.

Liz offers both in-person appointments on the Mornington Peninsula and telehealth appointments across Australia.

Jed is a Clinical Psychologist with over fifteen years of experience across child protection, disability, and mental health services. He works with adolescents and adults experiencing trauma, including complex trauma, attachment difficulties, and PTSD. He uses neurodiversity affirming practice when working with neurodivergent clients.

Trained in EMDR, ACT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Developmental Dyadic Psychotherapy, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Jed tailors therapy to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. He is particularly experienced in adapting EMDR for clients who have previously found therapy difficult, felt stuck in treatment, or had limited success with EMDR in the past. Many clients are drawn to Jed's approach because meaningful trauma processing can occur without needing to repeatedly retell painful experiences in detail.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker.
I offer trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and neuro-affirming counselling for adults across Australia via online sessions, as well as in person sessions in the inner north of Melbourne.

Whether you're exploring counselling for the first time, or looking to reconnect with support, you’re welcome here. I aim to provide a space that feels grounded, collaborative, and responsive to your individual needs.
Sessions are compassionate, non-judgemental, and guided at your pace. I work with people navigating experiences of trauma, including sexual assault, institutional and gender-based violence, childhood trauma, and challenges related to identity, relationships, sexuality and burnout.
My experience as a Social Worker means I will explore the origins of power. I apply a systemic lens and I will support you to separate self-blame from messages about worth and value that you may have absorbed from our culture.
I believe your trauma is one aspect that has happened to you; it does not define you.
