Stress
Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Stress has become an increasingly familiar part of modern life, yet living in a constant state of pressure can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, our relationships, and what matters most. While stress often feels like something we simply have to endure, it can also be an invitation to pause and listen more closely to what our minds and bodies are asking of us.
Rather than focusing solely on managing stress, I'm interested in understanding what lies beneath it. Together, we'll explore the patterns, expectations, relationships, and ways of adapting that may be contributing to your experience, approaching them with curiosity rather than judgement. We may also pay attention to your nervous system and the ways stress is held in the body, creating space for greater awareness, regulation, and choice.
My approach is grounded in understanding before fixing. By making sense of your experience in the context of your life, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, respond to life's demands with greater flexibility, and find a way of living that feels more sustainable and aligned with who you are.

A certain amount of stress is necessary to motivate us in various life tasks. High levels of stress however wreaks havoc on our emotional, mental and physical health. And when stress is maintained at high levels over long periods of time it can lead to nervous system overwhelm and burn-out. You don't want to put your body or your mind through that.

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.
