Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
As a highly sensitive person, you may experience emotions deeply and be especially attuned to the needs, moods, and expectations of those around you. While this awareness can be a gift, it can also make it difficult to separate your own feelings from those of others, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, drained, or unsure of what you need.
In therapy, we can explore how your sensitivity shapes your experiences and relationships, helping you build a stronger connection to your own needs, emotions, and intuition.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
As an HSP, your nervous system processes the world more deeply. I help clients embrace this sensitivity as a strength while learning grounded ways to manage overwhelm and emotional intensity. Together, we build tools for balance, boundary-setting, and thriving rather than coping.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Being a highly sensitive person can feel both like a strength and a challenge. You may notice that you experience things deeply, feel emotions intensely, and are more impacted by your environment or the energy of others. While this sensitivity can bring empathy, insight, and creativity, it can also lead to feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or hard on yourself for not being able to “handle” things in the same way as others.
In our work together, I will create a space to better understand and support you. Through a trauma-informed and attachment-focused lens, we’ll explore how your nervous system responds to the world around you and develop ways to feel more grounded, regulated, and self-accepting. My approach is gentle and collaborative, helping you build boundaries, process emotions, and reconnect with your sensitivity as a meaningful and valuable part of who you are.
I draw from approaches such as IFS, ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, EMDR, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll develop practical tools to navigate overwhelm while also supporting deeper healing and a stronger sense of self-trust.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Rosemary Laurel
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
It's like living in a whole different reality from other people, being a highly sensitive person. Often highly sensitive people are also very intuitive and empathic. This can be amazing, but you might also feel like your energy isn't your own and you are absorbing other people's stuff.
I bridge the worlds of energy and neurodivergence. I identify as AuDHD and HSP, and also a starseed and lightworker. These paradigms don't have to be separate.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Being highly sensitive is a gift that for many people feels like a curse. It can cause burnout, overwhelm, stress, sensitivity to people, emotions, energies, environments, and more. As an HSP myself, I love supporting clients in learning how to navigate the struggles of being highly sensitive and to cultivate the beauty of their sensitivity. You may have a nervous system and energy field that processes deeply, feels fully, and often carries more than it should. Maybe you've been told you are too much, too emotional, or too sensitive. It might feel like you don't quite fit in, or like others don't understand you. Our work supports you in understanding your nervous system, and healing on the level of body, emotion, and energy.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW, T.S., RPT, CPT
Highly Sensitive Persons have very unique experiences. No 2 HSPs are alike either. There are patterns that can be seen across people who are very sensitive. Depending on a person's sensitivity and environment, there are various strategies that can support them living their best lives in such a demanding world.

Kim Alscher
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
Many individuals will immediately resonate with being highly sensitive, but may not fully understand the meaning or impact of this trait on overall wellness. You might have grown up hearing that you are "too sensitive", or have always had a vague sense that you were different or misunderstood. For Highly Sensitive Persons, chronic stress and overstimulation can take a real toll on both mind and body. I use a combination of evidence-based mind-body strategies, somatic awareness, and practical coping tools to help you regulate your system, reduce overwhelm, and feel more grounded and capable in daily life.

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Being a highly sensitive person can mean experiencing emotions deeply, noticing subtle details in your environment, and feeling easily overwhelmed by stimulation or stress. While sensitivity is also a strength, it can sometimes feel intense or exhausting. Therapy provides a validating space to better understand sensitivity, develop grounding and boundary-setting skills, and learn how to thrive while honouring your natural temperament.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
People are wired different. And for some their more finely tuned systems can lead to a more intense way of relating to their environment...and this can be exhuasting! Incorporating a neuro-science backed, collaborative approach to well-being, you will come away from sessions with a clearer understanding of how you can utilize your unique wiring in a way that leads to more satisfaction, fulfillment, and freedom.

Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous municipalities — home to Simon Fraser University and BCIT, and housing the headquarters of Electronic Arts Canada, Telus, and other major technology companies — creating a therapy demand shaped by tech-sector burnout, academic stress, and a highly multicultural population that includes large Chinese, South Korean, Iranian, and South Asian communities. SFU and BCIT generate significant student mental health demand and clinical training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. Burnaby Hospital and Royal Columbian Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community that serves residents increasingly priced out of Vancouver proper. Many Burnaby residents access the broader Metro Vancouver therapy ecosystem, and the relative proximity to Vancouver means specialist care is generally accessible.
