Depression
Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Depression can be a profoundly painful and isolating experience. It can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, others, and the life you once knew. Rather than seeing depression simply as something to overcome, I'm interested in understanding what it may be expressing and what it asks of us. I believe that every symptom has a story to tell, and together we can gently explore the needs, losses, and adaptations that may lie beneath it.
This work requires patience, care, and a willingness to enter places that can feel uncertain or unfamiliar. You don't have to do that alone. My role is not to lead you out with quick answers, but to accompany you with curiosity, steadiness, and compassion as we discover what your experience is asking of you.
My approach is grounded in understanding before fixing. Together, we'll explore who you are, what has shaped you, and what you need now. I work in a way that values genuine human relationship, allowing myself to be touched by your experience and trusting that meaningful change often grows from feeling deeply understood.

Depression
Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
Depression can be devastatingly crippling. Often it can be really difficult to reach out for help if you're suffering from depression. But taking that step to talk to someone can be a life changer. I support clients with their mental health struggles and have also experienced depression in my family so have lived experience to draw on when holding space for others. Take that first step and book in for a free 15 minute phone consult via my website.

Depression
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Depression has a deceptive timelessness where it can feel like things have always been this dark and will always be this dark. But that's not true. Nothing in nature remains static. Things are always changing. One season replaces another. It's important to remember this and to know, even in the darkest moments, that something different is possible.

Depression
Alicia Adam
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters of Psychotherapy and Counselling, Bachelors of Psychology
Depression can weigh us down, leaving us overwhelmed, avoidant and hopeless. Depression is a human and inevitable experience, its how you respond to yourself and your needs in this time that matters. If you are feeling depressed repetitively we need to strengthen your understanding of why so we can take appropriate and compassionate action that breaks any perpetuating cycles you may be in.

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.
