If you often feel deeply affected by your surroundings, emotions, or other people’s moods, you might be a Highly Sensitive Person—and that’s not a flaw. At The Inner Collective, we support HSPs to better understand their sensitivity as a strength, not a weakness. Through compassionate, tailored therapy, we help you set boundaries, manage overwhelm, and navigate the world in a way that feels more sustainable and aligned with who you are.

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.

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.

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.

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.
