True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
I specialize in supporting highly sensitive people to embrace their unique gifts while healing the overwhelm that often comes with heightened sensitivity. My approach explores root causes like internalized abuse, broken boundaries, or an overactivated nervous system from unsafe early environments, which can amplify feelings of overstimulation or hypervigilance. Together, we work on downregulating the nervous system, addressing enmeshment trauma, and building stronger boundaries. I also honour the spiritual purpose of sensitivity-its ability to deepen emotional awareness, somatic experiences, and spiritual growth. By aligning with a soul-centred lifestyle, I help highly sensitive individuals transform their vulnerabilities into strengths, finding balance and purpose in their sensitivity.

Sensitivity is a wonderful strength, but in a fast-paced world, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. I provide a space where your sensitivity is honoured, and together we’ll explore how to live a life that truly supports and nurtures it.

Alison Taylor
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, GIT.Dip, CAPT, CRPO
If you identify as highly sensitive or easily overwhelmed, you may find yourself constantly pushing past your limits in order to keep up, connect, or meet expectations. What can feel like “too much” is often your system responding intelligently to the demands around you. In our work together, we slow down and explore how stress, burnout, and overstimulation show up in your body, your relationships, and your familiar ways of responding. I’ve spent much of my career as a movement and somatic educator exploring “grounding” techniques that help modulate sensitivity, and we can certainly draw on these techniques to explore what supports work best for you. However, our focus won’t necessarily be on making you less sensitive. (How has your sensitivity been a super-power? When has your sense-ability saved your life? Who needed you to be the feeler so that they didn't have to feel?) Rather, we can focus on helping you pay attention to your body’s your signals, honour your limits (limits actually give us freedom!), and rebuild sustainable capacity. This embodied, relational approach supports you in reconnecting with your sense of aliveness, developing clearer boundaries, and finding ways to fully engage with life while honouring your ability to sense-inwardly and sense-outwardly.

If you're looking for therapy to work on difficulties surrounding sensitivities please don't hesitate to reach out, it'd be wonderful to connect.

Rachael Burnett
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Do you often feel more deeply affected by your environment, emotions, or the energy around you than others seem to be? Moving through the world with heightened sensitivity can sometimes bring feelings of isolation, exhaustion, or shame. Please know that you are not "broken", and you are not alone. Your capacity to feel deeply is a profound part of who you are. Together, we can honor your emotional experience instead of fighting it. Together we will work to replace self-judgment with radical kindness, learning how to protect your energy and care for your nervous system. Therapy can offer a quiet, grounding space to process the weight of the world and find ways to feel more at home in your own skin. Your sensitivity is a valuable part of your human experience, and you deserve a space where it is fully understood and respected.

Kati Dobrei
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
As an HSP myself, I understand both the gifts and challenges that sensitivity can bring. Through my own therapeutic journey and clinical work, I've come to see sensitivity not as something to "fix," but as a strength that can be harnessed while learning to navigate the overwhelm that sometimes comes with it.

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.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Being highly sensitive is not a flaw, weakness, or something you simply need to “toughen up.” For many people, sensitivity can mean experiencing emotions, relationships, environments, and stress more deeply — which can be both meaningful and exhausting.
High sensitivity can also overlap with trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, sensory overwhelm, or years of feeling misunderstood, dismissed, or “too much.”
My approach is about helping you better understand your sensitivity, reduce shame, strengthen boundaries, and work with your nervous system rather than constantly against it. Together, we focus on building a life where your sensitivity can feel more like insight and strength — not just overwhelm.
