Brendon Knott

BSc (Psych), MA Psych (Clin)

Brendon is a Clinical Psychologist who has been practicing for over 23 years in both the public and private sectors, working mainly with adults and older adolescents. Brendon works with a broad range of presenting issues and aims to help people get unstuck from unworkable patterns in their lives, and to move their lives in directions that are more adaptive, meaningful and prosperous. Brendon specialises in contextual treatment approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and provides a non-judgemental, and non-pathologising environment where he collaboratively creates invidualised treatments that take into account your unique learning history, and your personal values.  

Brendon is also an experienced lecturer and trainer. He has taught into undergraduate and postgraduate clinical programs for the School of Psychology at the University of Newcastle for the past 15 years and runs training workshops for clinicians through his training business (Contextual Interventions).

Brendon is passionate about Psychology and helping to make psychological interventions available as broadly as possible. He currently sits on the board of the Australian and New Zealand Association for Contextual Behavioural Science (ANZ-ACBS) and works as a research consultant where he has co-developed App-based, and virtual reality-based ACT interventions for the health, university and defense sectors. Brendon also provides clinical supervision to Psychologists, and these services are currently available upon request.
