OUR CLINICIANS
Tim Brand
Principal Clinical Psychologist
Tim is an experienced Clinical Psychologist who has worked in private practice since 2007, following earlier experience within the Western Australian public health system. He completed his undergraduate and Honours degrees in Psychology at Curtin University and a Master of Clinical Psychology at Murdoch University.
Tim works with adolescents and adults experiencing a broad range of psychological difficulties, including depression, anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, panic, anger, insomnia, stress and relationship concerns.
A central feature of Tim's approach is taking time to understand what each client wants to achieve through therapy. He believes that developing a strong working relationship and a shared understanding of the problem provides the foundation for effective psychological treatment.
Rather than assuming that symptom reduction is the only goal, Tim explores what meaningful improvement would look like for each person. This might involve rebuilding confidence, improving relationships, returning to valued activities, developing greater emotional flexibility or responding differently to longstanding patterns.
Tim works collaboratively with clients to develop a clear formulation of their difficulties and an individualised treatment plan that integrates their goals, preferences and circumstances. His approach draws on evidence-based psychological therapies, with an emphasis on helping clients develop insight alongside practical strategies for change.
Tim enjoys using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), metacognitive therapy, schema-focused therapy, and EMDR.
