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.

Emma Dean
Therapist, MA Hons, DipCaH, PNLP
I’m Emma, and I work with people who are ready to explore themselves more deeply — to uncover what’s holding them back, heal old patterns, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I offer integrative, person-centred therapy that honours the connection between mind, body and soul. Drawing from different approaches including hypnotherapy, ACT, breathwork, somatic practices, mindfulness, NLP and EFT, I tailor each session to your individual needs. I also specialise in psychedelic integration and transpersonal exploration.
I work with anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, burnout, grief and life transitions, supporting sensitive and self-aware individuals who feel stuck or disconnected and are seeking deeper change.
Sessions are collaborative, trauma-aware and paced around you. I offer therapy online and in person in Fareham, Hampshire, with a free 20-minute discovery call to explore whether we’re a good fit.

Georgie Gee
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy
My philosophy is rooted in the belief that effective therapy creates a safe space where young people can explore their inner world and understand the root causes of their distress. By helping adolescents make meaning of their experiences empowers them to develop a stronger sense of self enabling them to navigate future challenges with greater awareness and confidence.
