Georgina Draxler — Psychologist

Not taking new clients

Hi, I’m Georgina

Georgina is a registered psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and an associate member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS). She has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults and takes a client-centred, neuroaffirming approach to therapy, valuing each client’s unique lived experience. Her main therapeutic modalities include Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). She integrates these approaches to support clients in processing past experiences, navigating present challenges, and building resilience for the future. Georgina has a special interest in perinatal mental health, neurodivergence (ADHD and autism), trauma, and adjustment challenges. She has completed specific perinatal mental health training through the Centre of Perinatal Excellence (COPE) and Dr Bronwyn Leigh’s Perinatal Infant Mental Health course. Her honours research explored secondary infertility, deepening her understanding of the emotional complexities surrounding fertility challenges. Therapy with Georgina is a collaborative and compassionate space, where clients are supported to build self-understanding, develop practical strategies, and work towards feeling more grounded, empowered, and connected.

Qualifications

I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Science from the University of Adelaide and am currently completing a Master of Clinical Psychology (post-registration). I am a registered psychologist with AHPRA and engage in regular clinical supervision to support high-quality care. I have additional training in EMDR, Schema Therapy, and a range of evidence-based approaches to support people experiencing trauma, anxiety, emotional difficulties, and life challenges. I am committed to ongoing learning so I can provide compassionate, personalised, trauma-informed, affirming, and up-to-date support tailored to your individual needs. I am also a member of professional organisations including the Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Association of Australia (EMDRAA), the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc. (AAPI), and the League of Autistic Psychologists and Affirming Colleagues (LOAPAC), reflecting my commitment to ongoing professional development and neuroaffirming, evidence-informed care.; I have experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults across private practice and perinatal mental health settings. I have worked with individuals presenting with a broad range of concerns, including emotional difficulties, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, and adjustment concerns. I also have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and completing psychological assessments to help people better understand their strengths, experiences, and support needs. I value providing collaborative, affirming, safe, trauma-informed, and person-centred care tailored to each individual.
