Julia Symons
Psychologist, Registered psychologist - BSc, Grad. Dip. App. Psych
Whether you are exploring your identity, navigating relationships, coming out, experiencing discrimination or minority stress, or seeking support for concerns unrelated to your LGBTQ+ identity, I offer a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard and accepted. I recognise that there is no single LGBTQ+ experience and tailor therapy to your individual values and circumstances, providing an affirming and respectful space in which to explore whatever brings you to therapy.

Birgit Schreiber Dr

Diversity and identity are central to how we live our lives and everyone needs to find their preferred way of living, laughing, and loving, so LGBTIQ+ rights and ways of being are very important.

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.
