AVAILABLE FOR NEW CLIENTS
Hi, I'm Genevieve. I am a registered psychologist and clinical registrar. My work is grounded in core values of transparency, collaboration, and empathy, and I approach therapy with the understanding that identity, power, and lived experience shape both our relationships and our capacity for change.
I believe meaningful change is nonlinear and deeply personal, so my approach centres on autonomy, curiosity, and compassion. I aim to create a therapy space where clients feel seen, safe, and supported, so that they are empowered to define change on their own terms.
I have a particular interest in working with individuals who are seeking to strengthen their relationships, improve communication, and explore unhelpful relational patterns. My goal is to foster a therapeutic environment that encourages honesty, mutual understanding, and sustainable growth—both individually and within relationships.
I typically draw from CBT, ACT, DBT, and CAT-based relational frameworks.
