Mr Paul Browne Psychologist

Paul has 24 years of experience as a Psychologist. He has an authentic, gentle, patient, empathic, warm and calming nature that fosters a deepening sense of support, safety and engagement. He endeavor's to meet people where they are at while at the same time helping them explore and reconnect with the ‘heart’ of the deeper unresolved and often hidden core issues that impact and undermine all aspects of their wellbeing. He uses simple, down to earth language and examples that are very relatable in order to reduce the ‘mystery’ and complexity of unfamiliar conditions and concepts to enhance peoples understanding and build their willingness to open up further to confront and deal with the ‘root’ and underlying inward causes of their presenting issues rather than remaining solely focused on the outward symptoms. He has a unique ability to come alongside people in a respectful, nurturing and patient way in order to ‘walk with them’ at their pace in such a way that results in a greater depth and breadth of experiential exploration and understanding that contributes to positive change and healing that is more extensive, deeper and permanent. Paul has extensive experience in working with offenders and victims of Child Sexual Abuse, individually and in group settings. He has worked within a number of prisons, male and female, co-facilitating various short and long term group treatment programs. Years of invaluable personal and shared experiences have engrained within him a humility and appreciation for the diversity of experiences that influence and often unfortunately result in unique outcomes and difficulties with problematic issues such as anger, addictions (of all types), self harm, hopelessness, isolation, suicide, depression, anxiety, fear, trauma, self worth and love, faith and fatigue to name but a few. He comes with a quiet confidence knowing that if he could be helped and healed from his brokenness to become a better and more balanced person, then anyone can be helped. Paul is a Registered Psychologist and member of Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). He has a Bachelor of Psychology from ECU and a Bachelor of Business, Agriculture from Curtin. He has spent three years at Bible College. He was brought up on a broad acre farm where he worked for many years developing his practical hands on approach to growing and fixing plants, livestock and machinery which he now continues in helping to grow and heal people.
