Who is Psychologist Barbara Zavros and what is her expertise?

Barbara recently completed her Master of Professional Psychology at the University of Melbourne. As a mum herself, she brings a warm, grounded perspective to her work with adolescents and adults.

She has a particular interest in performance, helping clients who are managing high expectations, navigating public speaking fears, or learning to perform at their best under pressure. Alongside this, Barbara works with a broad range of presentations including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions and emotional regulation.

In sessions, Barbara’s focus is on building genuine trust and safety, creating the conditions for clients to explore what is really going on beneath the surface. She draws on CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy and DBT to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, express who they are more freely, and live a life that feels more authentically their own.

Barbara also conducts cognitive assessments including the WISC-V for children and adolescents with learning, behavioural or developmental concerns.

Barbara is based at the Three Seas Psychology Fitzroy North and CBD clinics.
