Aliya Amarshi
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD (Sociology)
If you identify as a highly sensitive person, you may feel easily overstimulated, emotionally affected, or misunderstood. I help HSPs embrace their sensitivity as a strength, build tools for nervous system care, and thrive in alignment with their unique needs.

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.

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.

Atlas Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, B.Sc., M.A., RP
We support highly sensitive individuals in understanding and embracing their heightened emotional and sensory awareness as a strength rather than a burden. Through a compassionate, strengths-based approach, we help clients develop effective coping strategies for managing overwhelm, setting boundaries, regulating emotions, and navigating relationships and environments with greater ease. Our goal is to foster self-acceptance, resilience, and a more balanced, empowered way of living.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
If you’re highly sensitive, you likely notice more, feel more deeply, and take in the world in a way others don’t always understand. When it’s supported, this trait can bring intuition, empathy, and creativity. When it’s not, it can lead to stress, burnout, and a sense of being misunderstood. I work with adults who want to stop seeing their sensitivity as something to manage or hide, and start relating to it with more understanding and care. Using attachment and psychodynamic-informed approaches alongside Compassion-Focused Therapy, ACT, and DBT, we’ll work on setting boundaries, regulating overwhelm, and creating a life that honours how you’re wired.
