Hawaa Dajan
Psychologist, Master of Professional Psychology, General Registration with the Psychology Board of Australia
I’m Hawaa Dajan, a Registered Psychologist with AHPRA and a Master of Professional Psychology, with a particular interest in supporting women’s mental health. My experience includes working in public community mental health as well as private practice, where I have supported people experiencing a range of mental health and life challenges.
I take a trauma-informed and evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing on therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I work collaboratively with clients to explore how past experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and respond in the present, while developing practical strategies that align with their individual goals and values. If requested, I can also incorporate Islamic values and perspectives into therapy, while respecting each person’s cultural background, beliefs, and individual experiences.
I recognise that opening up to someone new can take time. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself and work at a pace that feels manageable. Therapy is tailored to your circumstances and what you would like to achieve, with a focus on helping you develop greater self-understanding, coping skills, and meaningful change. If you feel I may be able to support you on your mental health journey, please feel free to reach out. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and explore how we might work together. I look forward to meeting you!

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.
