Tess with laptop – Dr Tess Browne Clinical Psychologist
 

I’ve spent more than 25 years working in mental health, supporting people through anxiety, trauma, stress, burnout and some of life’s most challenging experiences.

As a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, my work is grounded in science, but I believe meaningful change happens when professional expertise is combined with genuine human connection. My aim is not simply to help you manage symptoms, but to help you better understand yourself, develop practical tools and create a life that feels calmer, more confident and more connected.

 
 
 
 

My Approach 

My work is grounded in evidence-based psychology, but I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person brings a unique set of experiences, strengths and challenges, which is why I tailor therapy and coaching to your individual needs and goals.

Drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and EMDR, I help clients better understand themselves, overcome obstacles, break unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies for navigating life’s challenges.

Am I the Right Fit for You?

Finding the right therapist or coach is important. The following may help you decide whether we’re likely to work well together.

Probably YES, if you:

  • appreciate a structured, evidence-based & goal-oriented approach

  • value practical tools & strategies alongside insight & understanding

  • want to better understand yourself & make meaningful, lasting changes

  • are willing to practise new skills and approaches between sessions

  • appreciate the flexibility & accessibility of online support

PROBABLY not, if you:

  • are looking for a quick fix rather than meaningful, lasting change

  • prefer a completely unstructured or open-ended approach

  • are unwilling to reflect on & apply new strategies between sessions

  • are seeking crisis or emergency support

  • are looking for relationship, couples or family therapy
