Psychologist, BA Psych Hons; MSc
Being deeply affected by your environment isn’t a flaw, it’s a form of sensitivity and awareness that deserves care and understanding. We support HSPs (including many neurodivergent clients) in building boundaries, processing overwhelm, and turning sensitivity into strength.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Due to my background in nursing and mental health, I have a good understanding of high sensitivity issues and how they impact the person including the potential impacts for those around them. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your inner emotions better and learn practical strategies to support increased emotional regulation skills and build resilience for coping, along with specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the often underlying trauma without the need to discuss the details of the trauma that can often be a cause of high sensitivity. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self.
My aim is to assist you with your high sensitivity difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace (using the various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods) along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
Many highly sensitive women living abroad spend years feeling “too much” for the environments around them.
Too emotional.
Too intense.
Too affected by other people, places or atmospheres.
Over time, many learn to monitor themselves carefully in order to adapt, belong and avoid judgement.
For women living between cultures and languages, this sensitivity can become even more complex. Constant adaptation, emotional self-monitoring and feeling different from those around them can leave the nervous system emotionally exhausted and overstimulated.
Yet sensitivity is not a weakness.
Often it is a deep capacity for perception, empathy, intuition and emotional awareness that simply has not been supported with enough safety, grounding or space to breathe.
My work offers a warm, reflective and nervous-system-informed space where highly sensitive women can begin reconnecting with their own rhythm, boundaries, authenticity and emotional wellbeing without constantly feeling the need to harden, perform or over-adapt.
I integrate psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EFT, embodiment, lifestyle medicine, reflective dialogue and nature-based approaches to support women in relating to their sensitivity with greater self-understanding, regulation and self-trust.

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.
