Women's Issues
Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Being a woman can bring experiences that are deeply personal while also shaped by the families, cultures, and societies we live within. Questions of identity, relationships, motherhood or choosing not to become a mother, caregiving, work, the body, ageing, fertility, loss, and belonging can all carry layers of meaning that deserve to be explored with care and compassion.
My approach is grounded in understanding before fixing. Together, we'll consider your experiences through developmental, attachment, relational, and intergenerational lenses, while also recognising the broader social and cultural influences that have shaped your life. Therapy offers a space to make sense of these experiences, reconnect with your own voice, and discover ways of living that feel more authentic and aligned with who you are.
Above all, I hope to offer a therapeutic relationship in which every part of your experience is welcomed with curiosity, respect, and care, allowing space for greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and freedom.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Our world values masculine values over feminine, which makes it tricky being a woman in the world. We're expected to be feminine (soft, caring and submissive) and masculine (career-climbers, bread-winners), both at the same time, and all while looking fabulous. It also causes many women to try to be men, because that is what is rewarded and respected.
I work with women who are wanting and ready to empower themselves as the woman they are in the world. We explore what the feminine means to you, where it's been disowned, where it's been allowed and how to bring more of it into your body and your life.

Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns
Women face unique challenges around identity, relationships, career, and life transitions, especially after 45. My approach honours the complexity of women's experiences while helping you reconnect with your authentic self beneath societal expectations. We'll work with internalised messages about worthiness, perfectionism, and caregiving while strengthening your voice and agency.

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.
