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.

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.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Moving through a highly stimulating world with a porous nervous system is amplified exponentially when you are also navigating marginalised identities. As an online therapist in BC who works with heightened sensory and energetic attunement, I offer specialized support for sensitive individuals who are tired of trying to desensitize themselves to survive. Our relational work focuses on honouring your deep capacity for feeling, reframing your sensitivity as a vital form of embodied knowing, and protecting your energetic boundaries.

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.

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.

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.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
As a highly sensitive person, you may feel emotions deeply, become easily overwhelmed by stress or conflict, and spend a great deal of time overthinking or worrying about others. Together, we'll help you better understand your sensitivity, develop healthy boundaries, manage emotional overwhelm, and embrace your strengths without feeling like you have to change who you are. My goal is to help you feel more confident, balanced, and empowered so your sensitivity becomes a source of resilience rather than exhaustion.

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.

Natalie V. Bochenska
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCAT, Certified Somatic Practitioner
Being highly sensitive can mean experiencing emotions, relationships, and sensory environments more intensely than those around you. I help clients understand their sensitivity, recognize signs of overwhelm, and develop ways to support their nervous systems without suppressing who they are. Together, we explore how to honour your sensitivity while building boundaries, emotional resilience, and self-acceptance.

Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) can mean experiencing emotions, sensory input, and relationships more intensely. You might feel easily overwhelmed, need more time to recover after demanding experiences, or find that things others seem to brush off affect you deeply. My approach recognizes that people differ in how they experience and process emotions, and that therapy needs to reflect those differences. I adapt trauma processing approaches such as EMDR, alongside IFS, Brainspotting, and somatic techniques to meet your needs.
