I’m Ken Lee, a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist offering specialist support to children, teenagers, young adults, and families in Ayrshire, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for young people aged 0–25 to explore emotional and relational challenges. Whether you're a parent worried about your child’s anxiety or low mood, a teenager struggling with identity or friendships, or a young adult feeling lost or overwhelmed—therapy can help. With over 18 years of experience in both NHS and private settings, I offer once-weekly and intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, supporting family relationships and emotional understanding.

My approach combines modern scientific understanding with traditional techniques and is based on a lifetime of experience in the professions, business, academia and family life.

Exeter, England therapist: Sudeva Hawkes, registered psychotherapist
Psychodynamic 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.

Bedford, England therapist: Talktojojo1st ( Josephine Aligwekwe aka Jojo), registered psychotherapist
Psychodynamic Therapy

Talktojojo1st ( Josephine Aligwekwe aka Jojo)

Registered Psychotherapist, Pg Adv Dip Psych, Cert. Trauma-Informed & Christian Counsellor , Cert. NLP Coach, Bsc Maths/Comp. Sc
I am a compassionate, patient, and caring person who has always had a deep interest in people and their life stories. Early in my career, this naturally led me to work as a trainer, where I enjoyed supporting and guiding others in their personal and professional development. Over time, my passion for working closely with people led me to transition into counselling and psychotherapy. I find great meaning in creating a space where individuals can openly talk about their relationships, life experiences, and the challenges they may be facing. With a natural ability to listen deeply and empathetically, I work with clients to identify the patterns or obstacles that may be holding them back from becoming their best selves. Together, we explore ways to overcome these challenges and support meaningful personal growth and healing. ​ ​

Bristol, England therapist: Jimi Katsis, registered psychotherapist
Psychodynamic Therapy

Jimi Katsis

Registered Psychotherapist, MA psych, Dip SW
I've spent 30 years doing this work because I understand what it's like when the outside doesn't match the inside. I know what it means to carry things nobody sees. I've lived it, not just studied it. I'm an integrative therapist, which means I adapt to what you actually need rather than fitting you into my preferred method. I'm trained in Psychodynamic & Schema Therapy, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, DBT-PTSD—but I don't force you into one box. We find what works for you, not what's convenient for me. I'm not interested in teaching you more coping skills or managing symptoms. I want to help you understand why you're wired the way you are, then help you change it. That takes honesty, patience, and someone who won't look away when things get uncomfortable. I've built businesses, raised a family, navigated my own dark corners. I get the weight of responsibility and what it costs to keep everything running while barely keeping yourself together. If you need someone direct, grounded, human, and who won't waste your time—let's talk.
