Life Transitions
Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Life is full of transitions—some anticipated, others unexpected. Changes in relationships, work, identity, health, parenthood, loss, or ageing can invite us into unfamiliar territory, asking us to let go of what has been and find our way towards what is emerging. These periods can be both unsettling and deeply transformative.
My role is not to prescribe how a transition should unfold, but to accompany you as you discover what this time is asking of you. Together, we'll explore your unique experience, honour what may need to be grieved or celebrated, and create space for new possibilities to take shape.
Drawing on my background in ecotherapy, we may also work with nature-based practices, ritual, or time outdoors to help acknowledge and mark significant transitions. I see these practices not as prescriptions, but as meaningful ways of connecting with the rhythms of change and our place within the wider living world.

Life Transitions
Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
Are you at a life transition point? New job, relationship starting or ending? A baby being born? A close person passing away? Transitions can feel overwhelming, but slowing things down in the therapy room can allow crowded pieces to be processed and a spaciousness to emerge. Book a free 15 minute phone consult via my website to discuss more.

Life Transitions
Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
We live in a time of great change. Change in any arena of life, personal or professional is often perceived as scary by most people. Ultimately the whole of life is in constant change. This scares the mind because it makes control questionable. Life transitions can be uprooting even when they are happy events like a marriage or becoming parents for the first time. Accepting and embracing change is what one needs to understand and to learn. Two of the methods I use are rooting in the Chinese I-Ching, the book of change. I support you in finding the reliable space inside yourself where you can hold yourself in times of change.

Life Transitions
Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
My focus is on supporting men as they work through stress, anger, disconnection, and self-doubt. By encouraging honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges that show up in relationships, work, fatherhood, or identity. Counselling here isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back into connection: with yourself, your core values, and the people who matter most, so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I see counselling as a collaborative and creative process, shaped by the needs and direction of each person I work with. My role is to offer steady support while creating room for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my aim is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

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.
