About Us

Get the treatment and support you need from our experienced and highly professional psychologists.

At Brisbane Centre for Psychology, we believe that therapy should feel human, respectful and genuinely supportive — not clinical or impersonal. We provide evidence-based care while taking the time to understand the whole person, creating a calm and welcoming space where people feel heard, valued and supported to move forward.

Founded in 2018 by local veteran Dr Rosemary Patton, the practice grew from a deep commitment to supporting veterans, defence personnel and their families. What began as a focused service quickly evolved into a dedicated psychology practice, now supporting a diverse client base across Brisbane with the same values of care, integrity and understanding.

Our team of psychologists bring strong clinical experience alongside warmth, authenticity and compassion. We are committed to evidence-based practice while recognising that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. We view therapy as a collaborative process of insight, growth and skill-building, grounded in meaningful therapeutic relationships. 

Our aim is to walk alongside you with care and clarity — supporting resilience, self-understanding and lasting wellbeing in a way that feels safe, inclusive and empowering.
