Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
My aimis to create a protected space where teens (over 13) can explore whatever is going on for them, without feeling judged or that they are expected to perform in some way. I combine clinical experience with with meditation and mindfulness to give the young people I work with something special, the opportunity to find their own sense of direction in the company of a supportive ally, eliminating that which is no longer relevant in their lives while developing new strengths.

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.

Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Children and adolescents often express distress through behaviour rather than words. My work focuses on understanding these responses as adaptive ways of coping with underlying experiences. Using a trauma-informed approach and a focus on how young people learn to adapt to feel safe, I support both the child and their caregivers in creating greater understanding, regulation, and connection.

Jonathan Livingstone Therapy & Coaching
Psychologist, MSc, MA, PGCE, GMBPsS
Children below the age of eight are unconscious and what appear to be their problems are actually solely the problems of their parents. From eight years old, children begin to develop consciousness, but this is not fully developed until age 25, when the brain has reached full development and adulthood is attained. The development of consciousness is also a gradual stepping out from the shadow of the parents. The younger the child, the less the problem truly belongs to the child. I like to see parent(s) and child, to work out what is going on, so that we can resolve the problem in the family.
