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.

Suzanne
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns
I offer a steady, compassionate presence as we explore your inner world together, getting to know the parts of you that have worked hard to keep you safe, and gently uncovering the deeper patterns that may have shaped how you move through life.
My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches, which means we work with both the mind and the body. Together, we create the safety and space needed to turn toward what's happening inside — with curiosity rather than judgment.
Many of the people I work with are navigating self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, or long-held emotional patterns — including the weight of generational burdens carried quietly over the years. Whether you're coming as an individual or as a couple, I honour the courage it takes to begin this work.
I work with: Adults (individuals) and couples
Areas of focus: Inner critic, self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, generational trauma, emotional patterns

Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), Relationship & Couples Counsellor, Certified Coach
You may function well on the outside yet find yourself caught in recurring patterns, in your relationships, within yourself, or in how you respond when triggered. I work with thoughtful individuals and couples who want to understand what is happening beneath the surface and respond differently. My approach is warm, direct and structured, helping you move toward greater clarity, choice and connection.

Through curiosity and an open mind, I work with you to explore the complexities of life. Together we identify unconscious patterns, limiting beliefs, conditionings, and behaviours that are holding you back. I support you to discover who you are beyond the mental minefield of rumination, uncontrolled emotions and triggers, anxiety, addiction, pain, and suffering. Supporting your self-awareness and understanding, I help you to connect to your authentic self, free from judgement, so you can create your life in alignment with who you truly are.
