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.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
Even if you start therapy to help you out of a dark or difficult time, it is a great gift that you give to yourself. We learn a great deal about ourselves, about others and ultimately about living with more ease and enjoyment. We can get curious about what you learnt growing up and in your life to date that created your world-view, your assumptions and even your body's responses to the situations you face. We'll learn about how you relate to your world in ways that *work* for you, as well as where these ways of relating are causing pain or limiting you. We will find your best ways to unblock and release those old responses. The goal: to help you to be more at-ease and authentically yourself and in relation to friends, family, work and other important people and situations. I believe every one of us has a soul-nature and way of being that works well for us and it's our job to work with that.
I work with an integrative palette of approaches and tools, and share them with you in our conversations. A good deal of our work will involve not just thoughts and feelings, but how they land in your body. When we start to shift what is available to our felt-sense, our perceptions and actions can shift dramatically. This is one of the things I love about the recent post-graduate training I've undertaken in Somatic Experiencing. I'm at the Intermediate level in this method and it informs my approach to trauma, to neurodiversity and to relationships. I've also undertaken significant studies in ADHD and autism to help work with neurodivergence.

Iva Taylor Hypnosisbloom Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, CHt. Certified Hypnotherapist, Life Coach
Iva Taylor, CHt: Hypnotherapist Specializing in Subconscious System Alignment
Ending Inner Conflict and Creating Effortless Clarity
Are you exhausted by constant inner conflict? Do you feel like your brilliant, strategic mind and your wise intuition are locked in an endless argument, leading to anxiety, indecision, and burnout?
My practice is built on the philosophy that lasting transformation is systematic, not random. My work focuses on fixing the root cause of this conflict: subconscious incoherence.
My Core Programs: A System Upgrade for Mind, Heart, and Youth
I specialize in three proprietary, structured therapeutic programs designed to resolve specific areas of inner conflict and behavioral patterns:
The Integrated Inner Child Program (IICP): Resolves emotional stagnation and self-sabotage by addressing the source of limiting beliefs and subconscious patterns. We heal the past so it can no longer compromise your present.
The Teenager’s Project Program (TPP): An 8-module therapeutic program specifically engineered for adolescents navigating modern emotional crises, anxiety, and self-harming tendencies. By combining subconscious alignment with compassionate therapy and coaching, this blueprint helps teenagers resolve internal chaos, safely process overwhelming emotions, and rebuild a resilient sense of self-worth from the inside out.
The Heart-Mind Integrated Coherence Program (HMICP): This six-session blueprint is for clients ready to move from healing into mastery. It teaches you to harness the heart's energy to train your mind and nervous system to work in perfect synchronicity. The result is Effortless Decision-Making, Unstoppable Focus, and profound Self-Worth.
My Approach: Coherence, Not Compromise
I do not offer generalized relaxation. I provide a precise, therapeutic system for mastering emotions and the mind. My clients are successful professionals, creators, and parents who are ready to stop managing their anxiety and start eliminating it at the root.
As the expert on your life, you already hold the wisdom to succeed. My role is to provide the blueprint and the tools to install a new, coherent operating system.
I am a certified Hypnotherapist (AHA Member) and Certified Life Coach committed to ongoing professional development. If you are ready to stop arguing with yourself and start living with confident, purposeful action, I invite you to contact me for a consultation.

Robert Thompson
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, UKCP, MBACP.
The modern world can be a frantic place, one where demands are constant and space is limited. Therapy offers you a chance to pause and take stock, to become more aware of your feelings and to re-examine the choices you are making in a reflective and constructive way.
I aim to provide a supportive relationship within which you can safely explore and better understand yourself and your relationships. I take an active role in helping you investigate a broader range of options than at first may present themselves. Therapy invites you to expand the limits of your imagination. I wish to encourage confidence and a resilience in managing feelings of doubt or despair, and to help find a positive and affirming way ahead.

Online in Exeter, England
Exeter is Devon's cathedral city and county town, home to the University of Exeter—a Russell Group institution with a strong academic reputation—and one of the south-west's most economically vibrant cities, with growing demand for mental health services driven by a rapidly increasing population and a student community with significant wellbeing needs. NHS mental health services are provided through Devon Partnership NHS Trust, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and the broader Exeter population. The city's housing market has become one of the most expensive in the south-west, creating financial stress for young professionals and key workers who want to live in a genuinely desirable city. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, anxiety related to housing and financial pressures, life transitions, and the identity and career challenges of a city that attracts young graduates who stay on after completing their degrees.
