Giorgia Deslandes is a Melbourne-based holistic counsellor, registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (Registered Clinical) and the EMDR Association of Australia. She offers counselling and psychotherapy from the northern suburbs of Melbourne.

With a Master’s qualification in Counselling Psychology and specialist training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Giorgia provides an integrative, person-centred, and strengths-based approach to therapy. Her professional background includes experience across the community sector—working in family violence, family therapy, and mental health—as well as private practice. She supports individuals navigating trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, identity exploration, and relational challenges.

Giorgia’s work is neurobiologically informed and grounded in Somatic Psychology, recognising the central role of the body and nervous system in healing from trauma and adversity. Her core therapeutic modalities include EMDR and parts-based therapy (Internal Family Systems and Resource Therapy), alongside Attachment-based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Trauma-Informed CBT, Schema Therapy, and Existential Therapy.

Therapy with Giorgia is tailored to each individual and may involve cultivating mindful self-inquiry, present-moment awareness, compassion, curiosity, and a connection to meaning or spirituality where relevant. Her practice is underpinned by a deep respect for each person’s lived experience and an unwavering belief in their inherent capacity for growth, integration, and healing.
