Tony O'Loughlin
Registered Psychotherapist, GradDip Psychotherapy, BA (Social Science), Trauma Informed Somatic Facilitator, PACFA member
Something in you already knows it's time.
Maybe you've been living with anxiety that feels woven into who you are. Maybe trauma has shaped how you move through the world — your relationships, your body, your sense of self — and you're ready to start unravelling that. Or perhaps you're exhausted from trying to hold everything together alone.
I'm Tony, a PACFA-registered psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and teens in person in Castlemaine, Victoria, and online across Australia and internationally. I specialise in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.
My work is body-based and relational. Using Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Polyvagal Theory, I help you understand what your nervous system is trying to tell you — and create the conditions for real, lasting change.
This isn't about insight alone. It's about helping you actually feel different in your body, your relationships, and your life.
Free 15-minute intro call available. Weekdays and evenings.

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.

At The Psych Assessment Studio, we focus on high-quality, neuroaffirming assessments and support for both children and adults. I have extensive experience in ADHD and autism assessments, cognitive and adademic assessments and functional capacity assessments. Our practice is grounded in a strengths-based approach that celebrates neurodiversity. My work and passion is particularly focused on supporting high-masking and internalised presentations, helping individuals better understand their unique neurotype and thrive across home, school, and work settings. I strive for a compassionate, affirming style and pride myself on translating complex diagnostic information into meaningful insights, practical strategies, and personalised support recommendations.

Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons)
Sometimes we can know something is missing without knowing exactly what it is. We may understand our circumstances yet still struggle to understand ourselves – what we feel, what we need, or why certain relationships leave us feeling stuck.
I focus on what can sit beneath these experiences: the ways early relationships, family roles and our needs for connection can shape how we relate to ourselves and others. This can show up in how we communicate, respond to conflict, seek closeness or protect ourselves when connection feels difficult.
Together, we can approach these experiences with curiosity, recognising that every part of us developed for a reason—to help us adapt, protect ourselves and navigate what we have experienced, even when those ways of coping no longer serve us.
We don't need to arrive with everything figured out. We can begin with what is here now and explore what it may be asking for.
