Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
A warm welcome. I work with people from all backgrounds, across cultures and religions. The people I’ve met over the last three decades have influenced my way of working at least as much as my studies at university, in mystery schools and with alternative healing. I empower my clients to help themselves with practical wisdom for embodiment, so that transformation becomes a lasting, self-conducted process in daily life. Supporting inner stability and healthy navigation in this crazy world is as important to me as reflecting the truth of your spiritual being. I am known for good intuition, deep empathy and humour. My orientation in guiding you is through listening, listening to you and into the field of your life's situation. I will not fix you, simply because you do not need fixing. I will rather connect you with the possibilities of self-leadership and healing that are already in you. I discovered that healing follows facing and embracing what's in the depth of the inner shadow consciousness. Right from there, transformation happens from the darkness into the light, not by putting a pretend gloss over the dark spots. All the tools I use are in service of discovering, befriending and being exactly how you are. I invite you to embrace life as you are.
Contact me risk free, I offer up to 25 mins free intake (video) call.

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.
