Franco Greco – Accredited Schema Therapist & Counselling Psychologist. Founder & Principal Psychologist at Your Psychologist, Elsternwick, Victoria. With over 20 years of experience in clinical psychology and coaching, Franco Greco is a dedicated Schema Therapist who specialises in helping professionals, executives, and individuals navigate complex emotional patterns and achieve lasting personal growth.
Specialisation & Therapeutic Approach
Franco is internationally accredited in Schema Therapy, a structured, evidence-based approach that targets deeply ingrained emotional patterns, or “schemas,” formed in early life. These schemas often underpin issues such as chronic anxiety, depression, shame, anger, self-criticism, and relationship difficulties. By identifying and transforming these core beliefs, Franco helps clients break free from self-defeating cycles and build emotional resilience.
In addition to Schema Therapy, Franco integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy into his practice. This holistic approach allows him to tailor interventions to the unique needs of each client, fostering meaningful and sustainable change.
Experience with Professionals & Executives
Drawing from his extensive background in executive and corporate roles, Franco has a deep understanding of the pressures faced by professionals and leaders. He works closely with clients experiencing workplace stress, burnout, imposter syndrome, and interpersonal challenges, helping them develop healthier coping strategies and enhance their emotional intelligence.
