Fiona Mawson
BA (Hons) MPsych (Counselling) Member AAPi. Accredited Consultant - EMDRAA, MAPS
Fiona Mawson is a Clinical and Counselling Psychologist, EMDR practitioner, consultant, and PhD candidate at the School of Health Sciences, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia. She has extensive experience working with adults who have experienced psychological trauma, complex trauma, dissociation, anxiety, and stress-related conditions, integrating evidence-based approaches with a strong focus on neurobiological mechanisms of recovery.
Alongside her clinical practice, Fiona is actively involved in research examining the neurobiological effects of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Her doctoral research focuses on the functional and structural brain changes associated with EMDR treatment, synthesising evidence from neuroimaging studies to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying trauma recovery. Her work aims to bridge neuroscience and clinical practice, translating emerging evidence into meaningful guidance for clinicians and researchers.
Fiona has a particular interest in complex trauma, acquired brain injury, and adapting EMDR for clients with neurological vulnerabilities. She is passionate about integrating contemporary neuroscience with trauma-informed psychological care and developing practical clinical frameworks that enhance therapeutic decision-making.
In addition to her research, Fiona develops and delivers professional education for psychologists and EMDR clinicians, with a focus on complex case formulation, the Theory of Structural Dissociation and evidence-informed trauma treatment. She is committed to supporting clinicians through supervision, consultation, and continuing professional development, promoting thoughtful, compassionate, and scientifically grounded practice.
Through her combined roles as clinician, researcher, educator, and supervisor, Fiona seeks to advance the understanding of trauma treatment while improving outcomes for individuals living with the enduring effects of psychological trauma.
