Self Esteem
Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Our relationship with ourselves shapes every aspect of our lives. When self-criticism, shame, or feelings of not being enough become familiar ways of relating to ourselves, they can affect our confidence, our relationships, and our capacity to move through the world with ease.
Rather than trying to silence these experiences, I'm interested in understanding how they came to be. Together, we'll explore the personal history, relationships, and adaptations that have shaped your sense of self, approaching these patterns with curiosity rather than judgement. Often, what feels like a harsh inner critic began as an intelligent way of coping with earlier experiences.
Through a steady and collaborative therapeutic relationship, there is an opportunity to experience yourself differently. As these patterns become better understood, many people find they relate to themselves with greater compassion, freedom, and trust, allowing a more authentic sense of self to emerge.

Self Esteem
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
When our self-esteem is low it can feel like everyone else in the world is 'getting it' but us. To my mind, low self-esteem, self-judgement, shame and isolation all co-exist cosily together and create fertile ground for each other. Because self-judgement will undermine our self-esteem, and lead to us feeling ashamed of ourselves. This happy combination then naturally leads us to draw inwards, away from the gaze of the world around us, and into isolation where nobody can see how 'worthless' we are (or believe ourselves to be).
Addressing this inner critic or inner judge is one of the keys to reclaiming our self-esteem.

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.
