Psychologist, B.B.Sc., G.D.A.C.P., M.Psych.(For.), F.A.P.S.
Understanding trauma and trauma diagnoses such as PTSD is crucial for any successful therapy. Our therapists have many years experience in working with trauma and its consequences, whether that be a one-off traumatic incident or cumulative traumas that may result in a diagnosis of Complex PTSD. Therapy may include a range of approaches that are well-researched and found to be effective in practice, related to safe graduated exposure therapies or creative therapies that incorporate adjunct therapy such as art therapy or visualisation around recovery.

PTSD/Trauma
Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma can arise from many different experiences, and its effects are often carried not only in our memories, but also in our bodies, relationships, and sense of ourselves. Many people who have experienced trauma have also experienced misunderstanding, leaving them to carry the weight of their experiences alone.
I approach trauma therapy with great care, recognising that healing cannot be rushed. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, building trust, strengthening your internal and external resources, and listening closely to your nervous system. When the time is right, we can gently explore traumatic experiences in ways that support integration rather than overwhelm.
My approach is grounded in understanding before fixing. I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides a steady foundation from which healing can unfold. Trauma work is rarely linear, and there is no right way to move through it. Throughout the process, my role is to accompany you with patience, respect, and compassion as you gradually reconnect with your own resilience, agency, and capacity for living more freely.

Trauma can continue to affect you long after the experience has passed, leaving you feeling on edge, disconnected or caught in thoughts and memories you can't easily switch off. Together, we can make sense of what you're experiencing, understand your reactions and develop practical ways to feel safer, more grounded and confident as you gradually move forward.

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.
