Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Anxiety and fear often develop for good reasons. While they can become overwhelming or limiting, I don't see them simply as symptoms to eliminate, but as meaningful responses that have helped you adapt to the circumstances of your life. Together, we'll approach these experiences with curiosity and compassion, seeking to understand what they are communicating rather than working against them.
Working with anxiety requires a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, collaborative, and paced with care. I'll take time to understand who you are, what has shaped you, and what you need now. We may explore your developmental history, attachment relationships, nervous system, intergenerational patterns, and the wider social and environmental contexts that influence your experience. As anxiety begins to make more sense, many people find they develop a greater sense of self-understanding, choice, and freedom in how they respond to life's uncertainties.

Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
There are genuine reasons why we often feel uncontrollably anxious or taken over by fear. Some of those could be from how we were shaped by our environment in early childhood, some of them could be factors at play today.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I work with you to understand what those reasons are, and how we can transform them into new ways of being. This means collaborating with you in creating a unique treatment approach that fits your exact needs.
This might involving practical skills to stabilise your emotions. It might involve deep visualisation work to create an internal sense of security in relationships (Integrative Attachment Therapy). It might involve tracking beliefs and experiences that have led you to mistrust social life or particular people or places and protect yourself through a hyper-aroused 'anxious' survival response.

Ronnie Adamowicz
Therapist, M.A. Psych
work with anxiety from a somatic and nervous-system-informed perspective, recognising that anxiety is often less about faulty thinking and more about a body that has learned to stay on high alert. Rather than trying to suppress or “get rid of” anxious thoughts, we focus on gently understanding how anxiety lives in your body and what it is trying to communicate.
Through somatic awareness, pacing, and embodied regulation, we work to increase your capacity to stay present with uncomfortable sensations without becoming overwhelmed. This approach helps reduce chronic tension, racing thoughts, panic symptoms, and the sense of being constantly on edge. Over time, clients often experience greater calm, self-trust, and the ability to respond to life with more choice rather than reactivity.
This work is especially helpful if you’ve tried traditional talk therapy or cognitive approaches and found that anxiety still returns in the body.

There are many approaches to anxiety and fears and while I have trained in both CBT, ACT and Mindfulness it is important that an individual or combination approach is utilised.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
Anxiety is essentially rooted in a heightened state of vigilance and tension. We have 'forgotten' how to let go. Here's a simple example. When we cross a busy road or drive a car we need to be extra vigilant and aware of our surroundings. We don't need that same level of attention when sitting comfortably at home, yet somehow it is still there. By bringing this habitual tension into conscious awareness and exploring its origins, we can help your nervous system rediscover how to unwind and embrace life fully.
