When life feels harder than it should
You might look like you are coping on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed or constantly on edge.
Anxiety keeps your nervous system activated, making rest and enjoyment feel out of reach.
Past experiences continue to shape how safe or unsafe the world feels now.
You doubt yourself, second-guess your reactions, or feel like you should be doing better.
Sleep is disrupted by racing thoughts, leaving you drained during the day.
Connection feels difficult, even with people you care about.
These responses are understandable reactions to stress, experience, and overload.
With the right support, it is possible to feel more grounded, connected, and in control again.
Psychological therapy, tailored to you
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You might be experiencing anxiety or feeling overwhelmed, recovering from trauma, navigating a significant life transition, struggling with relationships or intimacy, or working through a difficult reproductive experience.
At Salt & Earth Psychology, therapy is tailored to your circumstances, goals and preferences. I draw on a range of evidence based psychological approaches, including EMDR, CBT, ACT, psychodynamic and compassion focused therapy, depending on what is most appropriate for you.
I work with adults experiencing:
Trauma and PTSD
Including complex and relational trauma, distressing past experiences, and experiences that continue to affect how you feel, think or relate to yourself and others.
Anxiety, overwhelm and burnout
Including persistent worry, overthinking, perfectionism, panic, difficulty switching off, and feeling emotionally or physically exhausted.
Relationships and intimacy
Support with relationship difficulties, patterns that feel difficult to change, communication, connection, intimacy and sexual wellbeing.
Pregnancy and reproductive experiences
Including pregnancy decision making, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and adjustment to parenthood.
Life transitions and emotional wellbeing
Support when life has changed, you're questioning who you are or what you want, or you're finding it difficult to feel like yourself.
Therapeutic approaches
There is no single therapy that works for everyone. We can work together to understand what you're experiencing and consider which approach is likely to be most helpful.
EMDR is one of the approaches I offer, particularly where distressing or traumatic experiences continue to affect you in the present. EMDR may form part of ongoing therapy or, where appropriate, be provided through a more focused intensive.
I also draw on CBT, ACT, psychodynamic and compassion focused approaches, adapting therapy to the person rather than expecting you to fit a particular treatment model.
You don't need to know which type of therapy you need before you get in touch. More often than not, we weave these different approaches together within or across sessions to match your needs, goals and preferences.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy technique designed to help process distressing memories and emotions. At Salt & Earth Psychology, we integrate EMDR with other psychological approaches to achieve relief from distress.
EMDR therapy helps you learn how to reconnect with your feelings safely.
Reduces the emotional intensity of past experiences.
Works alongside other therapies to create change.
Backed by scientific research and used worldwide for anxiety, PTSD, and trauma recovery.
IMPORTANT: EMDR is just one of the many tools we use to support your healing journey and while studies have shown that treatment that includes EMDR can be very effective, this does not mean it will necessarily be the most appropriate or effective treatment for you.

Why work with me?
Life doesn’t have to stay this way.
Hi, I’m Kellie Dundon, a registered psychologist and the founder of Salt & Earth Psychology. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you navigate life’s challenges and break free from what’s holding you back.
I offer a collaborative and client-centered approach, creating a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with empathy and respect. My work integrates EMDR and other psychological techniques, supporting you in gaining deeper insight and lasting change. These approaches are tailored to your unique needs, to achieve meaningful progress in a compassionate, professional setting.
Through our work together, you’ll begin to understand why you feel the way you do, recognize patterns that no longer serve you, and develop the tools to move forward with confidence. My goal is for you to feel more connected to yourself and others, less burdened by the past, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.
