Geneviv Fanous

Geneviv is a warm and approachable Clinical Psychologist who enjoys working with adolescents and young adults navigating life’s challenges. She believes that therapy works best when people feel genuinely understood, and is passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where clients can explore difficult experiences, develop new skills, and create meaningful change.

Geneviv has a particular interest in working with anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, disordered eating, body image concerns and perfectionism. She understands that many people become stuck in patterns that once served a purpose but are no longer helpful, and enjoys helping clients make sense of these patterns while building a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

Her approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s individual needs. She draws primarily from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), integrating these evidence-based approaches in a flexible way to support lasting change. Whether clients are learning to regulate overwhelming emotions, manage anxiety or depression, recover from an eating disorder, improve their relationship with food and their body or overcome perfectionism, Geneviv works alongside them to develop practical skills while fostering deeper self-understanding.

Geneviv completed her Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at Macquarie University and her Master of Clinical Psychology at UNSW. She has experience working across both private practice and inpatient settings, including within a specialist eating disorders unit, supporting individuals with a wide range of presentations including eating disorders, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and emotion regulation difficulties.

Geneviv values authenticity, curiosity, and genuine connection, and feels privileged to support her clients as they work towards recovery, resilience, and a life that feels rich, meaningful, and worth living.
