Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) means your nervous system is finely tuned to the world around you—which can feel both like a gift and a source of constant, physical exhaustion. You process information deeply, feel emotions intensely, and are hyper-aware of environmental stimuli, subtle shifts in rooms, and other people's energy. In a fast-paced world, this often leaves you stuck in chronic overwhelm, fighting off high anxiety, and turning to perfectionism or people-pleasing just to feel safe and manage the sensory overload.I provide specialized, neurodivergent-friendly counselling support for Highly Sensitive Persons looking to thrive rather than just survive. Because an HSP's mind and body are so deeply connected, traditional talk therapy can sometimes feel like it only scratches the surface. We utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to untangle the self-doubt, loud inner critics, and boundary challenges that HSPs often face. Crucially, we integrate somatic practices, tailored breathing exercises, and targeted visual exercises. By pairing these with neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting, we can look beneath the surface to safely access, process, and release the accumulated physical weight of overstimulation and hidden emotional blocks right where they are held in your nervous system.You do not have to apologize for feeling deeply or hide your sensitivity behind a mask of high-achievement. Together, we will help you slow down, honor your unique traits, and build practical, everyday tools so you can move out of burnout and step into an aligned, intentional way of living. Along with individual therapy, I offer supportive group therapy spaces where you can connect with others who truly understand the experience of navigating the world with a deeply feeling heart and mind.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Highly sensitive people feel emotions deeply and naturally absorb the pain around them, often experiencing hurt more intensely. Healing means honoring that sensitivity, safely expressing emotions, and developing self-compassion and supportive relationships.

Christopher Cannon
Counsellor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
If you feel things intensely, notice details others miss, or get overwhelmed by noise and crowds, you may be a highly sensitive person. Sensitivity is a trait to understand, not a flaw to fix. I help sensitive clients learn how their nervous system works, recognize early signs of overload, and build routines that let them use their perceptiveness as a strength.

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.
