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.

Barbara (Barchi) Fojkar
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCC
Experiencing the world deeply can be both a strength and a challenge. If you identify as highly sensitive, I offer a space where your sensitivity doesn't need to be changed or minimized. Together, we can explore overwhelm, boundaries, emotional regulation, relationships, and ways to honour your sensitivity while feeling more grounded in yourself.

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.

Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Being highly sensitive can mean experiencing emotions, relationships, stress, and your surroundings with greater intensity. While sensitivity can bring empathy, thoughtfulness, and a rich inner life, it can also contribute to feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or deeply affected by conflict and difficult experiences. I provide a compassionate and respectful space to better understand your emotional responses, develop healthy boundaries, manage stress, and navigate relationships without viewing sensitivity as something that needs to be “fixed.” Together, we can build on your strengths while developing practical ways to feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally balanced.

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.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Being highly sensitive can mean experiencing the world with greater emotional depth, empathy, and awareness, but it can also leave you feeling easily overwhelmed, overstimulated, or deeply affected by conflict, criticism, and other people’s emotions. You may have spent years being told you are “too sensitive,” learning to hide your reactions or push past your limits. I offer a space where sensitivity is understood as an important part of who you are, not something to fix. Together, we can work on boundaries, self-trust, emotional regulation, and creating a life that honours your sensitivity without letting it run the show.

Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, RCC, RCC-ACS (c), DCP(c), ADHD-CCSP
As someone with lived neurodivergent experience, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to notice everything, feel deeply, and absorb the emotional or sensory intensity around you. I support highly sensitive adults in building boundaries, reducing self-criticism, and honouring their sensitivity without feeling consumed by it.

Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Feeling deeply and noticing subtleties others may miss can be a beautiful capacity—and it can also become exhausting when your nervous system feels continually overloaded. You may absorb the emotional atmosphere around you, become easily overstimulated, need more recovery time, or have spent years believing you were simply “too sensitive.” I offer a space where sensitivity does not need to be fixed. Together, we can explore boundaries, nervous-system regulation, self-understanding, and ways of honouring your sensitivity while developing greater capacity to move through the world without continually becoming overwhelmed.
