Pauline’s desire to become a psychologist was initially motivated by her early experiences witnessing the impact of mental illness in families.
“I became drawn to finding ways to provide effective support for people living with mental illness.”
Pauline Brown
Pauline has had a varied route to get to this point with training and working as a nurse, then as a dance movement therapist. Since moving to Australia, she qualified at Charles Stuart University and completed the training required to become a psychologist.
Pauline is passionate about working with patients to find creative ways to help them deal with their struggles, to grow and find a greater sense of meaning in their lives. “This work is a great privilege.” She strongly believes that people need to be able to access mental health treatment in the community.
Outside of work, Pauline enjoys spending time with her children and supporting them in their sporting passions. She also likes swimming, bush walking and dancing and is involved in surf life saving.
