Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, Trauma-Informed Relationship Counsellor, Therapeutic coach
Hi, I’m Uri Bookman — a trauma-informed relationship therapist, registered clinical counsellor (PACFA 30041), and coach. Parenting can be both rewarding and challenging, often bringing stress, conflict, or different expectations between partners.
I work with parents to strengthen communication, build emotional resilience, and create a more supportive family environment. For separated parents, I also offer Mediation & Co-Parenting Support — a trauma-informed, collaborative pathway that helps reduce conflict and establish respectful, sustainable agreements.
Together, we’ll focus on tools that bring clarity, compassion, and calm into your parenting journey — whether you’re navigating everyday struggles or the complexity of co-parenting after separation.
If you’d like support in creating a stronger, more connected family life, I offer a free 15-minute chat to see if this feels like the right fit.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
Working with teens & their families has given me extensive experience in supporting parents. This has included providing information & knowledge on how best to support their parenting. Every parent does the best they can & the guidance I provide is centered around how parents they can adapt & improve their parenting rather than blaming or criticizing. Its important that parents feel comfortable to work with me in a collaborative way otherwise their is no room for change so I focus on building a relationship with parents where they feel safe and comfortable to share experiences and work with me. No parent is perfect & usually working in improving parenting is about learning how best to support your kids & their individual, & collective, needs.

Irene Valis
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA certified Gestalt therapist, Counsellor, Life Coach
As a wife, mother and daughter, I resonate with the joys and challenges of parenting.
I tried so hard to be a good mum that eventually I lost my way a little and made child-rearing like a mission to accomplish rather than a journey to be savoured and experienced.
This awareness led me to seek support and put the oxygen-mask on as they say.
Now my parenting experience has completely shifted, it is a lot more relaxed, satisfying and fun - and my children and husband feel it too.
My mission is to nurture and support other women who are mothers or are planning to be mothers to foster and engage in safe, respectful and loving relationships first within themselves and in turn their children and their family.
I also support mothers who have recently become empty-nesters and grappling with a sense of loss of identity and purpose.

You don’t have to navigate these challenges on your own—I’m here to support you in finding clarity, balance, and a stronger sense of yourself as both a man and a parent

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
I have vast experience listening to many, many peoples parenting stories. Thus I feel I have a good understanding of the common parenting problems and issues, and how they can impact you and your children when experiencing them. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment within your parenting to restore balance, happiness and inner peace.
I can do this by using various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.
