Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
Both childhood trauma and that which comes from a recent shock can be immensely hard to live with. 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. Sudeva is experienced in trauma work, he is a Certified Practitioner in Somatic Experiencing (Peter Levine's work) and has further trained in NARM, Attachment Theory and IFS.

Leonie M Dippenaar
Life Coach, BWRT® Master Coach | Certified Hypnotherapist (CHT) | Ethno Psychology Practitioner (EPP)
Trauma can leave the nervous system responding to the present as though the past is still happening. We work gently with the emotional and subconscious patterns connected to difficult experiences, helping you reduce the intensity of distressing responses, regain a sense of safety, and develop healthier ways of responding. The goal is not to erase your past, but to lessen its hold on your present and help you move forward.

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.

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.
