My approach combines modern scientific understanding with traditional techniques and is based on a lifetime of experience in the professions, business, academia and family life. Therapy is open-ended and client-led and explores the sources, as well as relieving the symptoms, of distress. The goal is to achieve long-lasting change and personal growth.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Confronting pain takes bravery and self-awareness, but you don't have to do it alone. With the right support, meaningful, lasting change is possible.
I've run a private practice since 2016, drawing on a blend of Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This means I can work practically, with clear tools and strategies, while also exploring the deeper narratives and beliefs that shape how you see yourself and others.
My approach is relational and collaborative. I work with empathy to help you examine the stories you carry, about yourself and, where relevant, about others. Many clients arrive having built strong defences over years, often shaped by difficult upbringings or unresolved trauma. My role is to create a space where those defences can soften enough for real change to take hold.
Alongside my psychotherapy practice, I spent over 20 years as Director of my own company. That experience gives me genuine insight into the pressures of professional and business life, and I often work with people who are highly successful by external measures but privately struggling, helping them navigate what success alone doesn't resolve.

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.

John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MIAEB, FRAI
I have been a psychotherapist and mental health coach for many years, and I now specialise almost exclusively in helping those with, or recovering from, cancer. It's a debilitating disease that I have experienced twice, so I know at first hand the effect it can have on the quality of life and particularly how it makes us feel -- either as a reaction to being diagnosed and undergoing treatment, or when in remission as a survivor, the fear of it recurring.
I can also help family members and close friends, who often feel helpless bystanders.
We have all experienced our feelings dominating what we think, and what we do. But heightened emotions stop us thinking clearly. And that can often lead us to feel out of control.
Unlike many therapists, I do not believe that the adverse effect on our thinking and our behaviour from a life-changing event like cancer is a dysfunctional flaw or a disorder that needs treatment. Typical reactions to cancer --anxiety, fear, stress and low mood -- are part of life. Why cancer often triggers is a range of reactions: shock and denial; Shock and denial that it is happening. Coping with fear, anxiety and panic can be difficult, particularly as mood swings may frequently change. Feelings of sadness may range from low moof to extreme depression.
Ultimately we know, at a rational level, that we are mortal. But we also have we also have a very strong instinct to survive. We want to live. And enjoy life. Cancer is not the death sentence it once was.
I can help you come to terms with the reality as well as the inevitable perceptions that may influence you. And I can help you to flourish, rather than just cope and survive.

Kevin Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Having been on my own journey of crisis, self-awareness, and awakening, I know how much courage and bravery it takes to reach out, to ask for help, and to accept that we cannot cope on our own. This means breaking deep-seated loyalty bonds and allowing others to see us, relate to us, and connect with parts we don't want others to see. I work at a practical level, using clear tools and strategies based on an agreed contract and timeframe, where we explore deep-held narratives and beliefs and compulsive patterns of behaviour. Within the relational dynamic, I offer a new space/ environment of empathy, understanding, and freedom of expression, where you can start to lower defences and express your needs and desires without fear of punishment or rejection. I am passionate about helping people who have reached a plateau or are facing a crisis. A place where they are ready to embrace a rite of passage, a journey into authenticity and freedom, where I can support them to increase their awareness and create a more vibrant, active and rewarding life.
My mission is to help clients gain clarity and a deeper understanding of their childhood dynamics and relationship patterns as they learn to embrace their authentic selves by facing their fears and anxieties with compassion and trust.
