Tanya Genito

I am a Psychotherapist and Accredited Mental Health Social Worker currently based in https://totalwellnesstherapies.com.au at 68/283 Given Tce Paddington Qld. I trained at the University of Queensland, graduating in 2001. Since graduation I have over 20 years experience providing counselling, psychology strategies and psychotherapy. I have also worked in the drug and alcohol, housing, community/youth and education sector’s for over more than 20 years.

My philosophy is I value difference, honesty, integrity, finding your own path, standing out from the crowd, connection and relationship. I strongly believe people can be empowered to find their own answers. I know I am not a fixer, and I don’t have all the answers although I might have a suggestion or two. I can sit with you in your chaos, tolerate stuckness and I am not afraid of being afraid and can walk into the dark places with you.

My areas of specialisation is working with adults who have experienced relational trauma in their lives. I also have a breadth of experience working with issues such as grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, substance abuse and anger management. I am also very passionate about and trained to level 3 Gottman Method Relationship Counselling. I work with traditional couples as well as non traditional, ENM and Poly and Kink relationships. I also have a passion and a long history of providing professional supervision for other professionals especially with social workers, counsellors, youth workers and community workers.

My private practice and community work overall aim is the same – to explore ways of creating a more equitable and safe spaces for us all. I am particularly interested in the ways we make meaning in our lives and to harness our own inner strength to create social change and wellness for ourselves and others.

I use an integrated approach to match your individual and unique needs, drawing on techniques used in motor-sensori, CBT, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (inner child) and neuro-psychotherapy. Tanya’s practice framework draws on relationship, humanistic and strength based perspectives. Tanya is registered provider with the AASW and Medicare and accepts MHCP.
