Mathew Bergan
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist and Counsellor (Grad Dip)
I support LGBTQIA+ people by providing a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space to explore identity, relationships, and experiences of minority stress or marginalisation. Together, we navigate challenges such as family estrangement, chosen family dynamics, coming out, or gender-affirming experiences at a pace that feels right for you. My approach honours lived experience and values authentic connection to yourself and your community.

Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Gender and sexuality can be profound sources of identity, belonging, joy, and connection, while also carrying experiences of misunderstanding, isolation, discrimination, or shame. Therapy offers a space where every aspect of your identity can be explored with curiosity, respect, and care, without assumptions about who you are or who you should be.
As a cisgender woman with a background in gender studies, I am committed to offering an affirming and reflective therapeutic relationship for LGBTQIA+ people. My approach is grounded in understanding before fixing, recognising that each person's experience is unique and shaped not only by identity, but also by relationships, personal history, the body, and the broader social and cultural contexts in which they live.
Whether you're exploring your identity, navigating relationships, processing the impact of discrimination, or simply seeking a therapist with whom you don't need to explain or defend your experience, my hope is that therapy provides a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and able to relate to yourself with greater freedom and compassion.
