Depression
Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Depression can be a profoundly painful and isolating experience. It can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, others, and the life you once knew. Rather than seeing depression simply as something to overcome, I'm interested in understanding what it may be expressing and what it asks of us. I believe that every symptom has a story to tell, and together we can gently explore the needs, losses, and adaptations that may lie beneath it.
This work requires patience, care, and a willingness to enter places that can feel uncertain or unfamiliar. You don't have to do that alone. My role is not to lead you out with quick answers, but to accompany you with curiosity, steadiness, and compassion as we discover what your experience is asking of you.
My approach is grounded in understanding before fixing. Together, we'll explore who you are, what has shaped you, and what you need now. I work in a way that values genuine human relationship, allowing myself to be touched by your experience and trusting that meaningful change often grows from feeling deeply understood.

Depression
Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
There are genuine reasons why we feel depressed or taken over by a low mood or despairing mindset. 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. Depression can sometimes be representative of unprocessed grief, and sometimes it can be a learnt physiological state originating from a very young age.
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.
As an experience of low energy or 'hypoarousal', depression can sometimes be linked to our attachment years. So the work might involve deep visualisations to create an internal sense of security in relationships (Integrative Attachment Therapy). The work might involve tracking beliefs and experiences that have led you to distance yourself from social life or particular people or places and protect yourself through a depressive response.

Depression
Ronnie Adamowicz
Therapist, M.A. Psych
I approach depression through a somatic and relational lens, understanding it not as a personal failure or something to be “fixed,” but often as a protective response of the nervous system to overwhelm, loss, or long-held emotional pain. Depression can show up as numbness, exhaustion, low motivation, disconnection, or a sense of meaninglessness — experiences that are deeply embodied, not just mental.
In somatic psychotherapy, we work gently with the body’s signals to restore movement, vitality, and emotional contact at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Rather than pushing for positivity or insight alone, this approach supports gradual reconnection with feeling, agency, and self-compassion. Over time, clients often find increased energy, clarity, and a renewed capacity to engage with life and relationships.
This work can be especially helpful if depression feels persistent, if talk therapy hasn’t shifted things, or if you experience depression alongside anxiety or trauma.

Depression
Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
My aim is to create a safe space where you can look into the impact of Depression, a state that is often accompanied by Anxiety. It can be a scary place to be. I don't support the idea that you should be 'fixing' yourself, but rather encourage an exploration of that part of you which experiences melancholy, sadness or anxiety and how this originated. My way of working is singular, joining as it does clinical experience and the healing of trauma with meditation and mindfulness. My wish is to serve and support you in your authentic flowering, rather than to 'fix' you according to the expectations of conventional therapy.
