Emma Dean
Therapist, MA Hons, DipCaH, PNLP
As a Highly Sensitive Person myself, I understand the challenges of feeling deeply, I support highly sensitive people (HSPs) to feel safe, grounded, and empowered in their lives. Being highly sensitive can feel overwhelming at times — emotions, energy, and experiences are felt deeply, and the world can often feel too intense. Through a blend of integrative therapy, hypnotherapy, breathwork, and mindful practices, I help you manage overwhelm, strengthen your resilience, and connect with your unique gifts. Together, we create tools and practices that allow you to thrive, rather than just survive, in a highly stimulating world.

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.

Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
I know about highly sensitive, because I am diagnosed it. The world and other people in it have often looked overwhelming and "too much" for me. This can lead to isolation.
The challenge is to differentiate between physical symptoms and reactions and emotional and psychological reactions. Sometimes certain measure or changes in the environment can help. The challenge is not to (blindly) escape or react with self judgement or repress. I found out that the more I open up to vulnerability, the more stable and confident I feel. I'd love to support you in accepting and fully embracing your sensitivities and learning to regulate yourself with them.

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.

Portsmouth is one of the United Kingdom's great naval cities — home to HMNB Portsmouth, the Royal Navy's primary surface fleet base, and the historic dockyard where HMS Victory is berthed — and its therapy community is substantially shaped by the needs of Royal Navy personnel, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, trauma, and the emotional challenges of service life. The city is densely populated and has experienced significant post-industrial economic challenges, with therapists frequently addressing economic stress, housing precarity, and the mental health effects of communities carrying long-term deprivation. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Southsea and the residential suburbs north of the city centre. The University of Portsmouth's psychology programmes supply clinical training to the local community.
