cameron brown – psychologist
Cameron loves working with people who experiencing anxiety, depression and phobias, assisting them in their journey towards recovery and working on building back to their ideal life. My work is primarily in assisting you to understand any issues that are arising for you and working with you to find solutions or answers that help you reach the values you set. I work with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and also follow the works of Existential therapists such as Irvin Yalom. He is however able to utilise other modalities depending on client presentation.
Cameron completed his education and training in Queensland (Griffith and QUT) and a few of his roles have been:
- Inpatient addiction treatment on the Gold Coast

In my time away from practice I like to travel, bushwalk and play boardgames and I am a Newcastle Knights tragic.
