Dr Fran Brinn is a registered clinical psychologist specialising in trauma and persistent pain, with a practice grounded in over two decades of experience across health and mental health.
Originally from South Wales, Fran began her career as a registered nurse before completing her undergraduate and doctoral studies in clinical psychology at Cardiff University. She has now lived and worked in New Zealand for over twenty years, bringing a broad, eclectic approach to her practice. Alongside her EMDR Consultant accreditations with EMDRIA, EMDRAA, and EMDRNZ, she holds additional qualifications in Cognitive Analytic Therapy and Sex Therapy — reflecting her belief that no single framework fits every person.
Fran works extensively with clients from NZDF, FENZ, and VANZ, and is known for keeping things real. Her style is collaborative and straightforward: she brings her full clinical toolkit, but the work is always shaped by what actually matters to you. Whatever challenging route you're navigating, Fran offers a space where progress is built together — no pretence, just honest, skilled therapy.
