Dr Eric Wee Chong Tan is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Brisbane, with his practice at Level 8, 288 Edward Street, Brisbane QLD 4000.
In day to day work, Dr Tan looks after people who are dealing with stress, worry, and low mood. Many patients come in after a rough patch at work, at home, or both. Others are just finding it hard to switch off their thoughts, or they feel stuck in patterns that make things harder than they need to be.
Dr Tan provides counselling sessions and practical, structured therapy. A big part of the work uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This type of therapy helps people spot the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, then try small, useful changes that can make a difference over time. Behavioural therapy also plays a role, especially when someone wants help building routines or breaking avoidance cycles.
Sessions often focus on anxiety management strategies and stress management techniques. At times, the goal is to feel calmer day to day. Other times, it is about understanding what triggers certain emotions and learning ways to respond differently.
Dr Tan also supports people with common mental health concerns such as anxiety, stress-related problems, and feeling overwhelmed. Some people want short-term help for a clear issue. Others prefer a slower pace, working through what has been building up.
Work can be in plain English, and Dr Tan is also able to communicate in Chinese (Mandarin). This can help patients feel more comfortable and understood, especially when discussing sensitive topics.
Over time, Dr Tan has built experience working through talking therapies for everyday mental health challenges. The approach stays practical. There is room to talk about what is going on, and then there is usually a plan for what to try between sessions, based on what fits your situation.
Dr Tan’s practice is set up for regular clinical sessions. If you are looking for support with anxiety, stress, or coping skills, you can talk through your concerns at an appointment and decide on a therapy focus that makes sense.
