Ms Amy Brandler

I am a registered Clinical and Forensic Psychologist with extensive experience supporting individuals across a wide range of complex mental health and trauma-related issues. My work spans both sides of the justice system, and I’ve had the privilege of working with both victims and perpetrators of crime, giving me a deep and nuanced understanding of human behaviour, resilience and change.

I work primarily with adults and adolescents (16+), and my clinical areas of focus include anxiety, personality disorders, complex trauma and dissociation, and anger and emotion regulation difficulties. I aim to bring a compassionate, empathic presence to therapy while also being honest and clear in my reflections.

I integrate a range of evidence-based therapies tailored to each person’s needs, including:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Schema Therapy
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

I am a qualified EMDRAA Consultant, which means I have had considerable experience applying EMDR to a range of presentations, and I enjoy using EMDR as a form of therapy that can be intertwined with others above. Whatever you would like therapy to look like, my goal is to help you make sense of your experiences and move toward a more connected and meaningful life.
