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.

Rachael Burnett
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Do you often feel more deeply affected by your environment, emotions, or the energy around you than others seem to be? Moving through the world with heightened sensitivity can sometimes bring feelings of isolation, exhaustion, or shame. Please know that you are not "broken", and you are not alone. Your capacity to feel deeply is a profound part of who you are. Together, we can honor your emotional experience instead of fighting it. Together we will work to replace self-judgment with radical kindness, learning how to protect your energy and care for your nervous system. Therapy can offer a quiet, grounding space to process the weight of the world and find ways to feel more at home in your own skin. Your sensitivity is a valuable part of your human experience, and you deserve a space where it is fully understood and respected.

Francisca Carrasco - Compassionate Healing
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC. M.Psych
Highly sensitive people often feel deeply, think deeply, and become easily overwhelmed by stress, emotions, or external demands. I work with sensitive adults who want to better understand their nervous system and learn how to regulate emotions without suppressing who they are. Therapy supports self-acceptance, boundaries, and finding balance between sensitivity and resilience.

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.
