Lavinia May
Counsellor/Therapist, MNCPS (Acc.)
Hi, I'm Lavinia.
If you and your partner keep having the same argument, feel disconnected, or find yourselves walking on eggshells - you're not alone, and things can change.
I specialise in couples therapy, and also work with individuals. My approach is warm, honest and practical: we'll make sense of what's going on between you, and build small, realistic steps that help your relationship feel easier, closer and more like you again.
I use proven tools and techniques - without the jargon. Sessions feel like real conversations with direction: we set goals together, track what's working, and adapt as we go.
I work with couples and individuals navigating: recurring arguments & communication breakdowns · trust & repair after conflict · intimacy & emotional disconnection · anxiety creeping into the relationship · family & in-law boundaries · life transitions & burnout · reconnecting after a rough patch
Practicalities: 50-minute sessions • Online or in person in my Sandbach office • Individual & Couples. 🎁 20% Off All Therapy Sessions: Summer is here - and so is 20% off all therapy sessions. Let's make it count!
Next step: Introductory Session
50 minutes | Individuals & Couples
The first step is an initial session together - a relaxed conversation to get to know each other, hear a little about what's been going on, and explore how I may be able to support you. There's no pressure or commitment at this stage. Prefer to skip the Introductory Session? You're welcome to book your first therapy session directly.

Available in-person in Sandbach, Cheshire, or online from anywhere.

Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
I work with people from every walk of life, from successful business managers to struggling students, helping them to navigate stress, anxiety, and life’s many challenges. My approach is friendly, humorous and empathetic. Online I see clients from all over the world- especially Australia, the UK and Ireland. I have developed my therapeutic style and skills over many years. I am especially well versed in shock and developmental trauma, relationship and family therapy, workplace stress and anxiety . My trauma work is based on releasing painful held memories through Somatic Experiencing. The good news is that you don't have to delve into old wounds or relive past events. Trauma is held in the body and it is through the body that it can be released. My wife Adima is also available for spiritual therapy and as a Gene Keys Guide and can be contacted through our website.
The trust clients have displayed in me over the years has deepened my compassion and my insight and I am easy to connect with face to face or online. My aim is to present you with the tools you need to heal the things that trouble you and to connect more deeply within yourself; also to grow and develop an intimate, conscious and nourishing connection with the world around you. People often tell me they can never switch off the internal chatter and noise in their minds. That's a disturbance you don't have to live with. We can open the space for peace, simplicity and the freedom to relax when you need to.
My way of working is singular, joining as it does clinical experience and the healing of trauma with meditation and mindfulness. I combine them to give my clients something special, the opportunity to find their own sense of direction in the company of a supportive ally, eliminating that which is old and no longer relevant while developing new strengths. My wish is to serve and support you in your authentic flowering, rather than to 'fix' you according to the expectations of conventional therapy.
I appreciate connecting with people from every kind of background. I grew up in London and have travelled to many places in Europe, India and Asia. Until recently, I lived and worked in Australia and now I have returned to create a home and a practice in Devon the UK. In addition to Somatic Experiencing, I am inspired and fascinated by Internal Family Systems therapy and have recently embarked on a study of the Gene Keys. I look forward to working with you.

Jason Fletcher Hypnotherapy and Coaching
Hypnotherapist, FNCIP SQHP
With 23 years’ experience, I help people understand why they feel stuck and how to move forward.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, phobias, or patterns that continue despite your best efforts, I offer a calm, structured approach that focuses on what is maintaining the problem.
My work is grounded, practical, and collaborative. Rather than focusing only on coping strategies, we work on the underlying patterns that keep difficulties in place.
Some people notice meaningful change within a small number of sessions. Others choose to work more deeply over time.
If you’re tired of managing and want a clearer way forward, you’re welcome to get in touch.

Online in Sunderland, England
Sunderland is a city in the northeast of England with a proud history in shipbuilding and coal mining, and its post-industrial economic transformation has left significant deprivation in many communities, with mental health need among the highest in the country across a range of indicators. NHS mental health services are provided through Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, one of England's largest mental health trusts, though demand consistently exceeds capacity. The University of Sunderland contributes to the local mental health workforce through its psychology and counselling programmes, and a private therapy sector exists alongside NHS provision. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship difficulties, and the psychological effects of long-term unemployment and community decline that have affected many Wearside neighbourhoods.
