Dr. Robyn Brown – Clinical Psychologist

BA(Psychology & Forensic Science), BA(Hons), PhD (Clinical Psychology)

I am a Clinical Psychologist who adopts a warm and empathic approach, working collaboratively to achieve therapeutic goals. With a PhD in positive psychology, I believe in the benefit of focusing on strengths to assist the people I work with to create change and motivate them towards fulfilment in their lives. A good dose of humour doesn’t hurt either!

I have experience working with adolescents (13 +) and adults with a variety of difficulties, including:

• Depression
• Stress
• Self-esteem issues and self-sabotage
• Anxiety conditions (generalized anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, social anxiety)
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Eating Disorders and those wanting to improve their relationship with food
• Body image problems
• Social phobia
• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
• Addiction (Alcohol and drugs)
• Grief and loss
• Work stress

My preferred treatment modality is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), whereby I assist clients to modify their unhelpful thinking cycles leading to positive behavioural outcomes.

As a Clinical Psychologist I have undertaken advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders.
