Alicia Adam
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters of Psychotherapy and Counselling, Bachelors of Psychology
Highly Sensitive People (HSP) seem to soak up the experiences of all those around them. This can lead to chronic feelings of exhaustion in mind, body and spirit. You bring your experience of a HSP to me and we will work through it together. This may look like learning how to create boundaries that fit your values & strengthening your understanding of what self care feels like to you.

Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
Highly sensitive individuals often react intensely to internal and external stimuli, much like those who’ve experienced complex trauma. That is, for example, with increased emotional sensitivity and stronger reactivity to both internal and external stimuli—pain, hunger, light, and noise. I’ve found that trauma-informed therapies, along with mindfulness and clinical expertise, are particularly effective in supporting highly sensitive people. My goal is to help you thrive authentically, rather than conform to conventional expectations.

I support clients who experience emotions deeply. Therapy can focus on understanding their experiences, developing emotional regulation strategies and learning ways to respond with greater self-compassion.

Rebekah Kittl
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA Level 1, ACC (ICF)
Being a highly sensitive person isn't something to fix. It's a trait that comes with real strengths, alongside a lower tolerance for overstimulation, conflict, and environments that don't suit how you process the world. Many of my clients spent years thinking something was wrong with them before they had the language for this. I help you understand your sensitivity, protect your energy, and stop apologising for needing what you need. I see clients online across Australia.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Being a Highly Sensitive Person in a world that isn't built for sensitivity can leave you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like something's wrong with you for feeling things so deeply. If that resonates, let's work together to help you embrace your sensitivity as a strength rather than a struggle.
The first step in working with high sensitivity is understanding that there is nothing wrong with you — your nervous system simply processes the world more deeply, and that comes with real gifts alongside real challenges. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore how to protect your energy, set boundaries, and honor your needs without apology. My approach centers self-compassion and practical tools for thriving as a sensitive person in an often overstimulating world.
You don't have to feel "too much" alone. Let's take the first step toward a life that honors who you are.
