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.

I’m Alicia the founder of Powerfully Human. I’m a Psychotherapist dedicated to supporting you in exploring the darker more painful sides of yourself.
I don’t believe you are broken or that you need to be fixed. You're human & as humans we need support navigating the painful parts of life. When we hold space for this pain, we learn it comes with a purpose. We learn it’s here to be Harnesses.
Together we will strengthen your awareness of your behaviours, thoughts & emotions, how they effect your life and your connections. It is my role to witness your strength whilst teaching you how to hold space for the more uncomfortable experiences. Over time, you will slowly learn to harness the power in your pain.

Oksana Pueschel
Counsellor/Therapist, Grad Dip Family Counselling, Cert NeurOptimal Neurofeedback
I use a variety of evidence-based tools and techniques to help you reconnect with your existing strengths and cultivate additional resources that support progress toward the changes you wish to make. Depending on specific needs, I draw from a number of therapeutic modalities, all incorporating a respectful, strengths-based, person-centred and recovery-oriented approach. My practice is grounded in developmental, trauma-informed and solution-focused therapy within a family systems theoretical model. I frequently call on creative interventions, mindfulness and somatic resources to align your mind / body / spirit connection and consider cultural respect essential to my therapeutic approach.

Rebekah Kittl
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA Level 1, ACC (ICF)
Something in you already knows, even if you haven't quite found the words for it yet. You're the one everyone leans on, the one who's always had it together, and you're very good at making sure nobody sees the parts that don't.
Managing and being ok aren't always the same thing.
Counselling starts with helping your nervous system settle, so your decisions come from your values, not just your stress.
Some of what you're carrying makes more sense once it's said out loud. I've spent years helping people get there, drawing on more than two decades in business and leadership before I trained as a counsellor, so I understand the kind of pressure you're under.
I founded KMentors Group, a coaching and counselling practice, to offer exactly this kind of work.
You don't need a crisis to justify reaching out. Send me a message, and we'll take it from there.

Ballarat is Victoria's third-largest city, an inland regional centre with a proud gold rush heritage and a contemporary economy built on education, manufacturing, and regional services, and its mental health landscape reflects the particular challenges of a provincial city navigating the tension between its historical significance and the need to offer a modern, liveable community for young residents who might otherwise migrate to Melbourne. Federation University Australia is based in Ballarat and contributes to the local mental health workforce through its psychology programs, and Grampians Health provides public mental health services to the region. The surrounding agricultural communities create additional mental health demand for rural and farming populations, and Ballarat serves as a hub for mental health access across western Victoria. Common therapy concerns include regional and rural isolation, farming community stress, student mental health at Federation University, anxiety, depression, and the identity and belonging challenges of building a life in a regional city competing with the pull of major urban centres.
