Tawney Bevilacqua
Registered Psychotherapist
Working with women, as part of the sisterhood, feels deeply nourishing. Exploring all aspects of the femme identity can be rich terrain for reclamation of selfhood. In considering personal histories alongside collective experience, there can be many layers of emotion to grapple with in women's work. Looking developmentally, intergenerationally, with an attachment lens, and from a societal perspective, there is much to explore about what it means to be a woman, to have been raised as a girl, questions around motherhood, the mother wound and mother earth.

Wonderful Mess
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Social Work, Diploma of Counselling
I have become a more and more assertive feminist over the past 4 years, but I have always been aware of how different it is to be a woman in this society. I couldn't play soccer when I was young, not because my parents didn't let me, but because no other girl would play with me, because it was not "girly to play soccer". I was told I "looked too young" for a job when I was 25 - a job that was offered to a 23yo man. But then, more "serious" things happened around me. My friends started having kids and some were treated horrendously by health professionals. The pressure on their shoulders from the very first moment they said they were pregnant: everyone has had something to say about what they did or didn't do, what they are, they way they have been raising their kids. Everything, everything that we women do or don't do is judged by society. Whether we don't want to have children, have children at a "younger or older age", have "one child only". The worst thing, that really breaks my heart, is that this patriarcal society has managed to create conflicts between us women, while I really believe that we should all stand together and support each other. Acknowledge each other and help each other in our own battles.
This is my biggest battle as a counsellor: help as many women as I can to realise how much of a warrior they are, in a world where every day is a battle when you have a uterus.

Women's issues encompass a broad range of challenges and experiences unique to women, including but not limited to gender inequality, reproductive health, domestic violence, and societal pressures. Therapy can be a valuable resource in addressing these issues and as a woman myself I have a lived experience understanding. I provide a safe, supportive open minded and non-judgemental space for you to explore your feelings, experiences, and identity. My gender-sensitive approach can help women navigate societal expectations, challenge internalized beliefs, and develop empowering coping strategies. I can assist women in processing trauma, managing stress, improving self-esteem, and fostering healthy relationships to help gain insight, resilience, and empowerment to navigate life's complexities with greater confidence and authenticity. Please see the type of therapy I provide for a deeper understanding of how I can help.
