Anjali P.
Registered Psychotherapist, MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling, Registered Member MBACP- 408062
People are often more complex than the diagnoses, labels, or presenting problems that bring them to therapy. While words like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or low self-esteem may describe part of your experience, they rarely tell the whole story of who you are, what you have been through, or what your struggles mean to you.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some arrive with a clear understanding of what they're struggling with, while others find it harder to put their experience into words. You may be navigating relationship difficulties, a major life transition, questions around identity, overwhelming emotions, or simply a sense that something doesn't feel quite right.
My approach focuses on understanding you as a person rather than as a problem to be solved. Together, we can explore your experiences, emotions, relationships, and patterns with curiosity and compassion, developing a deeper understanding of what may be contributing to your difficulties.
Alongside this exploration, I also believe that insight alone is often not enough. While understanding ourselves can be a powerful starting point, meaningful and lasting change often involves finding new ways of relating to ourselves, navigating emotions, communicating our needs, setting boundaries, and responding differently to the challenges we face. My aim is to support both understanding and change, helping you build a more compassionate relationship with yourself and move towards a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.

Somatic Therapy
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.

Somatic Therapy
Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
I believe that the ways we cope, relate, and navigate the world are shaped by what we have had to endure. Much of my work focuses on understanding these adaptations—not as flaws, but as intelligent responses to past experiences. In therapy, I offer a space that is steady, thoughtful, and non-judgemental, where we can explore both what is happening now and the deeper patterns beneath it. My aim is to support you in developing insight, emotional safety, and a way of moving forward that feels more aligned, sustainable, and true to who you are.

Candida Stevens - Therapist & Coach
Registered Psychotherapist, MHGI, MSc, CBT-I
Are you experiencing a loss of confidence in your personal or professional life? Trying to navigate a change and finding it bewildering? Overwhelmed by life and concerned about burnout? Struggling to sustain self-belief through a tricky patch? Or struggling to get adequate sleep?
Working with a trusted partner on identifying and talking through the issues can be relieving, liberating and invigorating. With support you can identify areas that have perhaps become stuck or neglected. Rediscover what inspires you and move forwards with a new spring in your step. Be heard and use your thinking partner to have a future focused conversation that helps you make progress.
With a specialism in burnout and its common nervous system associations, sleep difficulties, loss of confidence and ADHD, I offer a qualification in both counselling and coaching, which allows me to adjust our work together according to where you are at and what you need.

Stoke-on-Trent — the 'Potteries' — has experienced decades of economic hardship since the collapse of its ceramics and coal industries, and it consistently ranks among the most deprived cities in England, with therapists frequently addressing poverty-related depression, substance use, and the intergenerational effects of long-term community decline. The city has one of the lowest rates of therapy access relative to need of any comparable English city, making the work of community mental health practitioners especially important. Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services alongside a limited private therapy sector. Staffordshire University maintains a counseling psychology program that contributes training to the local community, and telehealth has become an important access route for residents seeking a specialist match not available locally.
