Psychologist Profile

Harley de Vos, Registered Psychologist

Bronwyn Thompson

Registered Psychologist
BSc, Post Grad Dip Psych, MAPS

Bronwyn first registered as a Psychologist in 2002 before taking her skills into another allied  health role where she specialised in working with clients who had suffered from a debilitating  injury or were navigating challenges related to pain management. This role required her to  work alongside multidisciplinary teams comprising doctors, medical specialists,  rehabilitation providers, physical therapists, and workplace representatives, ensuring  comprehensive care and optimal outcomes for her clients. Although remaining passionate  about supporting clients in a multi-disciplinary team, Bronwyn has returned to supporting  clients specifically with their psychology. 

Bronwyn’s dedication to innovation and holistic care is evident in her previous role where she  was instrumental in developing an early intervention program for front line employees who  were struggling after exposure to a stressful situation(s). This program has showcased  remarkable results in improving employee well-being. 

Bronwyn’s therapeutic approach is founded on collaboration, as she firmly believes in  empowering her clients to embark on a journey of self-improvement to overcome barriers  thereby enhancing their participation in life activities. Drawing from her diverse skill set, she  employs a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral  Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). 

Bronwyn’s expertise extends beyond her work as a Psychologist and physical therapist. She is  a former member of the Australian Rowing Team and represented her country from 1996 to  2000. This included participation in the Olympic Rowing Teams in 1996 and 2000 where  both times she was a finalist in the Women’s eight. This athletic background provides  Bronwyn with a unique understanding of the psychological challenges and performance  demands faced by athletes and it has greatly influenced her approach to helping clients  achieve their goals. 

Bronwyn has experience in assisting individuals with general psychological issues but has a  particular interest in sports / performance psychology as well as pain management and  assisting clients to successfully adjust to any major life transition(s). Bronwyn is deeply  committed to facilitating positive change and enhancing mental well-being in her clients.  

Bronwyn works with clients aged 18+
