Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Being a Highly Sensitive Person doesn’t mean something is “wrong”; it means your nervous system processes the world more deeply and intensely. Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) support HSPs by helping regulate the activation that comes with overstimulation, strong emotions, and subtle shifts in the environment. SE brings more stability to the body by working with activation, overwhelm, and the tendency to freeze or shut down when things feel too much. ISP adds emotional capacity, helping you stay present with feelings and sensations without becoming flooded. Together, these approaches create more resilience, clearer boundaries, and a grounded sense of self, allowing sensitivity to become a strength rather than a source of exhaustion.

Jade at We Tackle Trauma
Counsellor/Therapist, MAASW, MSW, QTS, BSc (Hons)
I offer a nurturing space and a non-directive warm joy-centred approach, to support your wellbeing in the way that aligns with your choices and preferences. This means that the language I use, and my engagement and therapeutic approaches are tailored to your personal engagement, communication, and learning style (visual, auditory, verbal, kinaesthetic, blended, creative, etc.). This is part of the process I use, to work with you in a trauma-informed, strength-based, person-centred way; to facilitate safety in the way you find most nourishing. As I have a broad toolkit, you can also choose to integrate creative, talking, and somatic practices; as you wish. This is your time designed and delivered your way.
Depending on the services you are seeking, we can explore things that may include maintaining wellbeing and regulation, finding stability in relational experiences that may be challenging or draining, and safer navigations of environments that may feel overstimulating; which may include career strategy as well. Whether that sounds good, or you are seeking something completely different, I offer free consultations; so please reach out, I look forward to meeting you. -Jade

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
I know about highly sensitive, because I am diagnosed it. The world and other people in it have often looked overwhelming and "too much" for me. This can lead to isolation.
The challenge is to differentiate between physical symptoms and reactions and emotional and psychological reactions. Sometimes certain measure or changes in the environment can help. The challenge is not to (blindly) escape or react with self judgement or repress. I found out that the more I open up to vulnerability, the more stable and confident I feel. I'd love to support you in accepting and fully embracing your sensitivities and learning to regulate yourself with them.
