Anxiety
Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Anxiety and fear often develop for good reasons. While they can become overwhelming or limiting, I don't see them simply as symptoms to eliminate, but as meaningful responses that have helped you adapt to the circumstances of your life. Together, we'll approach these experiences with curiosity and compassion, seeking to understand what they are communicating rather than working against them.
Working with anxiety requires a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, collaborative, and paced with care. I'll take time to understand who you are, what has shaped you, and what you need now. We may explore your developmental history, attachment relationships, nervous system, intergenerational patterns, and the wider social and environmental contexts that influence your experience. As anxiety begins to make more sense, many people find they develop a greater sense of self-understanding, choice, and freedom in how they respond to life's uncertainties.

Anxiety
Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
Anxiety is one of the most common presenting issues that clients step into my therapy room wanting to "fix" or overcome. Often I talk to my clients about how anxiety is actually a healthy part of our nervous system and emotional body, it's like our fire alarm warning of potential danger. But sometimes this alarm becomes overactive to too sensitive and we can slowly peel back the layers of a client's experience to understand what is fuelling this fear. If you'd like to know more about how we can work together book in for a free 15 minute phone consult via my website.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
The pressure to 'be' something in the world can be overwhelming. Add to that the distress of what's happening in our ecosystem and, through that lens, having anxiety absolutely makes sense.
When it comes to the climate crisis, feelings such as anxiety, guilt, terror, grief, anger, despair and helplessness are not something to be fixed or cured. They are healthy, appropriate responses. They show that you care.
My experience is that anxiety and fear often come from needing, but not being able, to predict the future. And the fear of the fear itself can be debilitating. It doesn't have to be that way.
We work to bring your body on board so that your mind can take a break from its catastrophic thought cycles. Bringing the body on board also helps to build your supports and your ground and to soothe your weary mind.

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.
