About Renee.

Renee Louise Brown | Clinical Psychologist | EMDRAA Accredited Practitioner

Hi, I’m Renee - a clinical psychologist based in Spring Hill, Brisbane. I hold full registration through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) as a psychologist, with endorsement in the area of clinical psychology. I am an Accredited Practitioner through the EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA), and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (MAPS).

I originally studied health science and worked for many years in the health industry, both in fitness and in nutrition. I found myself drawn towards behavioural sciences and returned to study in 2015, completing a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours Class I) at the University of Queensland. While I was studying, I worked with young people suffering from severe and complex mental health conditions, both clinically and within research (access my publications here). Through this work I discovered a passion for clinical psychology and so I completed further study, obtaining a Master of Psychology (Clinical) in 2021 from the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Through my studies, ongoing professional development, and clinical experience, I find myself particularly drawn to working with people who have suffered from difficult / traumatic life experiences that continue to influence them in the here and now.

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, reading fiction, and travelling whenever I am able to.
