About Dr Braden

Braden is a clinical psychologist with experience in public, private and academic sectors. He moved to Townsville in 2011, just before commencing his professional studies in psychology. He completed his Bachelor of Psychology with Honours followed by a Master of Psychology in Clinical Psychology at James Cook University in 2017. He completed his PhD at Central Queensland University in 2025. Braden is passionate about clinical education and actively contributes to the learning and development of future mental health practitioners in Townsville.

Braden's clinical and research interests are in the fields of youth mental health and complex developmental trauma. He is experienced in treating conditions arising from trauma including mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, Complex PTSD, and Borderline Personality Disorder. Helping children and adults to recover from stories of tragedy is his greatest privilege.

Braden is experienced in a range of therapeutic styles but draws predominantly from psychodynamic psychotherapy. Braden takes a traditional, analytical stance in his sessions, valuing insight and self-awareness rather than 'quick fixes' to problems.
