Samantha Chin
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling, PACFA registered psychotherapist
I work with clients who feel deeply affected by other people’s emotions, conflict, criticism, or overstimulating environments. Therapy can support you to understand your sensitivity as a strength, while developing boundaries and practices that reduce overwhelm.

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.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Being a highly sensitive person is often experienced as a liability rather than a trait, especially in fast-paced professional environments that reward toughness over attunement. I help clients understand their sensitivity as genuine capacity rather than flaw, and build boundaries and regulation strategies that let them use it well instead of being overwhelmed by it.

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.

Toowoomba is Australia's second-largest inland city and the regional hub of the Darling Downs, serving a large agricultural hinterland across one of Australia's most productive farming regions, and its mental health landscape reflects both the needs of a regional city and the particular stresses of farming communities navigating drought, financial pressure, and geographic isolation. Darling Downs Health provides public mental health services, and the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) based in Toowoomba contributes trained counsellors and psychologists to the local mental health workforce through its psychology programs. Agricultural stress, the mental health impact of prolonged drought, and the challenges of rural isolation are among the most significant mental health issues in the broader Toowoomba region, and the city serves as the access point for mental health care across a wide rural area. Common therapy concerns include farm and rural stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and the adjustment challenges of agricultural and service sector workers in a regional city.
