Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Being a highly sensitive person often means experiencing the world—and emotions—more intensely, which can show up as overwhelm, tension, or sensory overload. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy engage both body and mind, helping highly sensitive individuals process emotions safely, regulate their nervous system, and cultivate resilience, grounding, and a deeper sense of self-understanding.

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.
