Grief
Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Grief is one of the most profound experiences we encounter. Whether you're grieving the death of someone you love, the end of a relationship, a hoped-for future, an ancestral experience, something you can't name, or another significant loss, grief asks something of us that cannot be rushed or fixed. It is a deeply personal process that deserves to be met with patience, compassion, and care.
My role is not to lead you out of grief, but to accompany you through it. I offer a steady, attentive presence—someone to listen deeply, bear witness to your experience, and help you find your own way through the landscape of loss. Together, we'll make space for whatever is present, trusting that grief unfolds in its own time and in its own way.
While I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, I believe the relationship we build together is the foundation of this work. In times of profound loss, having a place where you can be fully yourself—without needing to hold it all alone—can become an important part of healing. My hope is that therapy offers a safe and compassionate space in which your grief can be honoured, your experience deeply understood, and your connection to life gradually renewed.

Grief
Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
Waves of grief can catch you off guard. Just when you think you've made sense of a loss in your head, your emotions swell and tears flow. I navigated a lot of grief in my life and so I feel very anchored and compassionate when sitting with clients wanting to move through their loss. It can be a lot more supportive to not go this journey alone but lean on a caring professional to guide you through this. Book a free 15 minute phone consult via my website to discuss more.

Grief
Alicia Adam
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters of Psychotherapy and Counselling, Bachelors of Psychology
Grief sits heavy in our body. Too move through the sludge on our heart we must expand and create space for the pain. The grief doesn't get smaller but we do get bigger around it. Loss can shatter us and change our direction completely, this means we must release and adapt to change, even when unexpected. Then when you are ready we integrate gratitude with understanding that we wouldn't be grieving if we didn't first love. We can avoid grief and loss, we must get stronger and create space for it.

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.
