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.

Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
I want my clients to get the most out of therapy, so that, as soon as possible, they no longer need therapy. Foremost in how I work is the establishment of as much safety as is reasonably possible and a strong collaborative alliance. I bring my full being to meet clients where they are at and walk with them to where they want to be. I work with you to tap into and develop your own innate capacities for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healing. Whether it is trauma, grief and loss, or relational, emotional or life purpose issues, I help you get to the root cause of your experience and connect to it in a powerful, transformative way.
The parable of teaching a person to fish can apply here. Together we will catch some fish and address the immediate problems, but ultimately you will be better at fishing yourself, so you will carry the gifts of therapy with you long after we stop working together.
I chose the path of psychotherapy because I wanted to address the root cause of suffering and find a way to be of meaningful service. It is a deeply transformative and fulfilling path. There is something about being with another in therapy that leaves me never quite the same as when I entered the session. As such, my work brings me life, just as I endeavour the same for my clients. If this is resonating with you, I encourage you to contact me for a free consultation call.

Grounded Space Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Graduate Diploma Trauma Informed Processwork Psychotherapy (Process Oriented Psychology), Diploma Counselling, Somatic Experiencing Cert II/III
Through curiosity and an open mind, I work with you to explore the complexities of life. Together we identify unconscious patterns, limiting beliefs, conditionings, and behaviours that are holding you back. I support you to discover who you are beyond the mental minefield of rumination, uncontrolled emotions and triggers, anxiety, addiction, pain, and suffering. Supporting your self-awareness and understanding, I help you to connect to your authentic self, free from judgement, so you can create your life in alignment with who you truly are.

Gregory Poll
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
I am a qualified Gestalt and Somatic psychotherapist, as well as a clinical supervisor.
I am specialising in working with people who have experienced early childhood developmental trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational challenges. Using a blend of modalities, I tap into personal awareness, freedom, and self-direction.
My attention is focused on an intuitive, creative, and spontaneous process that centres on what is happening in the present moment between me and the client. Working somatically, I focus on the connection between the MIND and BODY to address mental and emotional health issues, especially trauma. "Inner Child" work is one of my key passions, and it plays a significant role in shaping my therapeutic approach. My focus on trauma is addressing the root causes rather than just the symptoms.
My Philosophy... "It is not essential what happened to us in the PAST; what matters most is how we make sense of it NOW."

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.
