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.
