Available After Hours
Hi, I'm Genevieve, a registered psychologist and clinical registrar (she/her).
I work with couples and relationship systems seeking support to navigate relationship challenges, including communication difficulties, conflict, unhelpful relational patterns, betrayal and infidelity, intimacy and connection, life transitions, and the impact of mental health concerns.
I'm passionate about creating a warm, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I believe therapy is most effective when it is flexible and tailored to your unique story, strengths, and goals. My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, gentleness, and a little humour, providing space to explore challenges, process difficult experiences, build resilience, and work towards meaningful and lasting change.
I welcome people from all walks of life, including those from LGBTQIA+ communities, diverse cultural backgrounds, and all relationship structures. I value cultural humility and believe therapy is a collaborative process in which I learn from you as much as I bring my clinical expertise. My aim is to meet you wherever you are with warmth, respect, curiosity, and care.

Relationship Therapy
Relationship therapy may suit you if you’d like to navigate and nurture the connections that are significant to you.
Luma Room is based on Wurundjeri land in Brunswick. We offer relationship therapy for couples+ either in person at our location on Sydney Road (near Barkly Square) or via Telehealth online, if preferred.
I like to draw from therapies including:
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT)
• The Gottman Method
My practice is grounded in a client-centred framework and informed by evidence-based approaches. I take the time to complete a thorough assessment so we can develop a shared understanding of your experiences and create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and goals.
I have undertaken specialised training in couples therapy, particularly the Gottman Method, supporting partners to navigate conflict, rebuild trust after betrayal, strengthen emotional and physical intimacy, and deepen their connection. I integrate Gottman-informed interventions with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, and Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) relational frameworks to provide flexible, individualised care.
Alongside my clinical work, I have been involved in research and am a published co-author exploring the overlap between anorexia nervosa and autism. During my honours studies, I was also awarded an Australian Psychological Society prize for my research.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, spending time with dogs, and have recently discovered a love of gardening. I am committed to ongoing professional development so I can continue providing thoughtful, evidence-informed care. If you're looking for a therapist who will work alongside you with warmth, honesty, and compassion, I'd love to support you on your journey.
