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.

Anna Nolan Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling (UQ), ACA Registered Member, Cancer Counselling Professionals Clinical Member.
Being a highly sensitive person can mean experiencing emotions deeply, being particularly attuned to the feelings of others, and responding strongly to sensory or emotional environments. While sensitivity can bring qualities such as empathy, awareness and depth of feeling, it can also leave people feeling overwhelmed, anxious or emotionally exhausted. I offer a supportive space to better understand and appreciate your sensitivity, explore its impact on your life, and develop ways of caring for yourself and managing situations that feel overwhelming.

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.

John Zavaglia (Mind LIfe)
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA Registered, PC Grad MHN & Neuro, MBA
You may experience emotions, situations or the people around you more intensely, sometimes leaving you feeling overwhelmed, drained or caught in your own thoughts. Rather than seeing sensitivity as something you need to change, together we can understand how it affects you, develop practical ways to manage overwhelm and build greater clarity, confidence and emotional balance.

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.
