Hello, I’m Dr. Brian English. As a Community Psychologist with over 30 years of experience, I’m passionate about helping you navigate the challenges that life presents. My work focuses on supporting you through difficult life events, and I’m committed to helping you find peace and resilience.

 

I specialise in addressing issues such as traumatic stress from injuries and motor vehicle accidents, health setbacks and chronic pain, as well as persistent depression and anxiety related to workplace challenges. Additionally, I work with relationship issues and the feelings of anger and anxiety that arise when it feels like we’re invisible to our partners, extended family, and close friends.

 

I hold postgraduate degrees in various fields, including a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Pain Management, a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology with a focus on clinical and organisational psychology, an MBA with studies in mediation, employee wellbeing, and organisational change management, and a PhD in cognitive development in early childhood. My primary focus is on helping you manage psychological distress that significantly impacts your mental health, relationships, work, retirement, and overall wellbeing.

 

My areas of expertise include:

 

• Bullying and harassment at work

• Serious illness or injury

• Retirement and unemployment

• Relationship and family conflict

 

I have a keen interest and extensive training in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), and Gottman Relationship Counseling. I view therapy as a means to assisting you to achieve the life that truly matters. With my evidence-based approach, I strive to help you manage distress and build resilience while focusing on your health, relationships, and work.
