Therapy that gets the real you—mess and all.
At The Inner Collective, we know life doesn’t follow a script. That’s why we offer therapy that makes room for the full you—your culture, your neurotype, your story, your struggles. You don’t need to be “fixed” to deserve support. Our team of warm, down-to-earth psychologists offers thoughtful, evidence-based care that’s neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. If you’re looking for real connection, practical support, and a space where you can just be human—you’re in the right place.

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.

Tyla Stroebel
Psychologist, BA Psych Hons; MSc
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. I also bring lived experience as an Adhder person and mother.

Dr Romana Bowd
Psychologist, PhD, BSc (Hons), BSc (AppPsych)
My practice is not only a welcoming space physically, but I ensure that each person that seeks my service feels emotionally safe and supported through evidence-based practice and stepping through the objectives set by clients themselves. I have many years of lived experience as well as professional experience and accreditation and I also ensure that I give back to the community through volunteering with the Royal Lifesaving Society and Surf Lifesaving Queensland. I previously volunteered at Lifeline for 5 years (phone counselling). I encourage feedback and re-prioritising goals throughout the therapy process to ensure that client's needs are being met through this journey. I look forward to meeting new clients through this medium.
