Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
Highly sensitive individuals often react intensely to internal and external stimuli, much like those who’ve experienced complex trauma. That is, for example, with increased emotional sensitivity and stronger reactivity to both internal and external stimuli—pain, hunger, light, and noise. I’ve found that trauma-informed therapies, along with mindfulness and clinical expertise, are particularly effective in supporting highly sensitive people. My goal is to help you thrive authentically, rather than conform to conventional expectations.

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.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
The work is to help understand and embrace deep emotional and sensory responsiveness as a trait, not a flaw. Building emotional regulation, healthy boundaries and strategies to prevent overwhelm, without shutting down sensitivity is critical.

Lakis Elezoglou
Counsellor/Therapist, Life Transitions & Feeling Stuck
I work with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) who often feel overwhelmed by emotions, environments, or the expectations of others. Being highly sensitive can bring deep empathy and awareness, but it can also lead to stress, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion.
In our work together, I provide a supportive space to explore these experiences and understand how your sensitivity affects your thoughts, feelings, and daily life. We can look at ways to manage overwhelm, strengthen emotional boundaries, and build confidence in how you relate to yourself and others.
My aim is to help Highly Sensitive People turn sensitivity into a strength, allowing for greater balance, self-understanding, and emotional resilience.

Birmingham is one of the youngest and most ethnically diverse cities in Europe, with large South Asian, Caribbean, and African communities that generate consistent demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists who understand the intersection of identity, faith, and mental health. The city's industrial heritage and post-industrial transition shape a therapy culture in which economic stress, intergenerational family dynamics, and the challenges of navigating change are common themes. Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Edgbaston, Moseley, and Harborne. The University of Birmingham and Aston University maintain active psychology training programmes that feed into the city's broader therapy ecosystem.
