Tony O'Loughlin
Registered Psychotherapist, GradDip Psychotherapy, BA (Social Science), Trauma Informed Somatic Facilitator, PACFA member
Something in you already knows it's time.
Maybe you've been living with anxiety that feels woven into who you are. Maybe trauma has shaped how you move through the world — your relationships, your body, your sense of self — and you're ready to start unravelling that. Or perhaps you're exhausted from trying to hold everything together alone.
I'm Tony, a PACFA-registered psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and teens in person in Castlemaine, Victoria, and online across Australia and internationally. I specialise in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.
My work is body-based and relational. Using Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Polyvagal Theory, I help you understand what your nervous system is trying to tell you — and create the conditions for real, lasting change.
This isn't about insight alone. It's about helping you actually feel different in your body, your relationships, and your life.
Free 15-minute intro call available. Weekdays and evenings.

Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
My work is grounded in the belief that emotional difficulties make sense in the context of our relationships, histories, bodies, and the wider living world. Therapy is not simply about reducing symptoms—it is about understanding the patterns that have shaped you and creating the conditions for something different.
Sessions are thoughtful, collaborative, and gently exploratory. I'll share my observations, invite your reflections, and encourage honesty about how you're experiencing both the therapy and our relationship. Alongside words, we'll also pay attention to the body—its sensations, impulses, tensions, and rhythms—as another way of understanding your experience. When it feels appropriate, we may also draw on the natural world, either through working outdoors or allowing nature to offer perspective, grounding, and a deeper sense of belonging within the wider web of life.
Spiral Psychotherapy is for people who long to understand themselves more deeply rather than simply manage symptoms. My hope is that therapy offers not only insight, but a different experience of being with yourself, others, and the living world—one that creates greater freedom, connection, and aliveness.

Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons)
Sometimes we can know something is missing without knowing exactly what it is. We may understand our circumstances yet still struggle to understand ourselves – what we feel, what we need, or why certain relationships leave us feeling stuck.
I focus on what can sit beneath these experiences: the ways early relationships, family roles and our needs for connection can shape how we relate to ourselves and others. This can show up in how we communicate, respond to conflict, seek closeness or protect ourselves when connection feels difficult.
Together, we can approach these experiences with curiosity, recognising that every part of us developed for a reason—to help us adapt, protect ourselves and navigate what we have experienced, even when those ways of coping no longer serve us.
We don't need to arrive with everything figured out. We can begin with what is here now and explore what it may be asking for.

Adelaide is South Australia's capital and one of Australia's most liveable cities, with a strong arts, food, and festival culture that coexists with the mental health challenges common to all major Australian cities. The Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders Medical Centre provide substantial institutional mental health resources, while the University of Adelaide and Flinders University maintain active clinical psychology training programs feeding into the private practice community. Adelaide's lower housing costs relative to Sydney and Melbourne make private therapy more financially accessible for a broader segment of the population, and the city's compact geography means practices are relatively easy to reach. Growing migrant communities from India, China, and Southeast Asia are increasing demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists.
