Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
If you are tired of feeling low, depleted, stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or stressed-out, I can help you to reclaim your vitality and zest for life.
Whether you struggle with a diagnosed condition such as Anxiety, Depression, Panic Disorder, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or Fibromyalgia, or maybe you want to transcend the mire of brain fog, anxious thoughts, and worry, my work can pave the way to a radically different future.
We start by looking at symptoms as purposeful messengers - that means we unpick the underlying causes. Then I teach you how to unlock your deeper potentials for healing, wellbeing, resilience, motivation, and mental clarity.

Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
My name is Saffron. I am an accredited member of the BACP and have been practicing as a counsellor and psychotherapist for twenty years both within an agency setting as well as within my private practice, where I offer face to face, online, telephone and walk and talk appointments. I have worked with clients across the age range of 16 up to and past the retirement age. The service that I offer welcomes people from all backgrounds in a way which is non discriminatory and supportive. Counselling offers an opportunity to process personal challenges and difficulties within an environment that is supportive and confidential. At times this might include discussing painful and uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, emotions. You are not alone with this as many people experience these at different points of their lives. When this is happening it can be hard to remain in a positive and focused frame of mind. Sometimes people feel overwhelmed and feel unable to continue to cope in the way that they usually could with their life on a day to day basis. One of the ways that counselling can help is by providing a space to process personal, behavioural and relationship issues in a safe and confidential way with a qualified professional. My role is to support you with this process in a way that is non judgmental, free from criticism or giving advice as to what I believe is the right thing for you to do. By working together in this way I am there alongside you as you find your own answers in a way that is right for you as we are all individual and unique and what is right for one person may not feel right for someone else. Of course you don't have to tell me everything about yourself and your life if you are not comfortable with this however you may find it beneficial to be as open and honest as you are able to be.

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.

Brittany Statler, Intuitive Wellness Therapy Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Headline: Move Beyond Just "Coping"—Build a Life Guided by Values, Not Fear.
About Me
If you’re here, you’re likely exhausted. Exhausted by the "what-ifs" of anxiety, the rigid rules of an eating disorder, the cycles of OCD, or the heavy weight of past trauma. You’ve probably tried to "think" your way out of these feelings, only to find yourself more stuck.
I’m Brittany (she/her), co-founder of Intuitive Wellness Therapy Group. I am an action-oriented, compassionate therapist for those who are ready to stop managing their symptoms and start reclaiming their lives.
My Approach: Action-Oriented & Mind-Body Focused
In a private-pay practice, you deserve more than just a place to vent. You deserve a specialized roadmap. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based approaches to help you drop the rope in the tug-of-war with your thoughts.
My approach is individualized and somatic (mind-body). We don’t just talk about change; we practice it. Together, we create a non-judgmental space where we swap criticism for curiosity. We will:
Identify your core value system: Deciding what actually matters to you, separate from your anxiety or disorder.
Bridge the mind-body gap: Learning to process trauma and distress where it lives—in your nervous system.
Take bold action: Moving toward a "life worth living" by taking steps that align with your authentic self.
The Private Pay Advantage
Choosing a private pay therapist means your care is never dictated by an insurance company’s codes or session limits. It allows us the freedom to work at the pace and depth you actually need. I maintain a smaller, dedicated caseload to ensure you receive the high-touch, individualized support required for deep healing in areas like OCD, trauma, anxiety and ED recovery.
Next Steps
You don't have to navigate this alone. If you're ready to stop let fear drive and start living authentically, book a free discovery call here. Let's see how we can work together to get you back to the person you were meant to be.
