Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
My work is grounded in the belief that emotional difficulties make sense in the context of our relationships, histories, bodies, and the wider living world. Therapy is not simply about reducing symptoms—it is about understanding the patterns that have shaped you and creating the conditions for something different.
Sessions are thoughtful, collaborative, and gently exploratory. I'll share my observations, invite your reflections, and encourage honesty about how you're experiencing both the therapy and our relationship. Alongside words, we'll also pay attention to the body—its sensations, impulses, tensions, and rhythms—as another way of understanding your experience. When it feels appropriate, we may also draw on the natural world, either through working outdoors or allowing nature to offer perspective, grounding, and a deeper sense of belonging within the wider web of life.
Spiral Psychotherapy is for people who long to understand themselves more deeply rather than simply manage symptoms. My hope is that therapy offers not only insight, but a different experience of being with yourself, others, and the living world—one that creates greater freedom, connection, and aliveness.

Suzanne
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns
I offer a steady, compassionate presence as we explore your inner world together, getting to know the parts of you that have worked hard to keep you safe, and gently uncovering the deeper patterns that may have shaped how you move through life.
My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches, which means we work with both the mind and the body. Together, we create the safety and space needed to turn toward what's happening inside — with curiosity rather than judgment.
Many of the people I work with are navigating self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, or long-held emotional patterns — including the weight of generational burdens carried quietly over the years. Whether you're coming as an individual or as a couple, I honour the courage it takes to begin this work.
I work with: Adults (individuals) and couples
Areas of focus: Inner critic, self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, generational trauma, emotional patterns

Oksana Pueschel
Counsellor/Therapist, Grad Dip Family Counselling, Cert NeurOptimal Neurofeedback
I use a variety of evidence-based tools and techniques to help you reconnect with your existing strengths and cultivate additional resources that support progress toward the changes you wish to make. Depending on specific needs, I draw from a number of therapeutic modalities, all incorporating a respectful, strengths-based, person-centred and recovery-oriented approach. My practice is grounded in developmental, trauma-informed and solution-focused therapy within a family systems theoretical model. I frequently call on creative interventions, mindfulness and somatic resources to align your mind / body / spirit connection and consider cultural respect essential to my therapeutic approach.

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.
