Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Being a Highly Sensitive Person in a world that isn't built for sensitivity can leave you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like something's wrong with you for feeling things so deeply. If that resonates, let's work together to help you embrace your sensitivity as a strength rather than a struggle.
The first step in working with high sensitivity is understanding that there is nothing wrong with you — your nervous system simply processes the world more deeply, and that comes with real gifts alongside real challenges. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore how to protect your energy, set boundaries, and honor your needs without apology. My approach centers self-compassion and practical tools for thriving as a sensitive person in an often overstimulating world.
You don't have to feel "too much" alone. Let's take the first step toward a life that honors who you are.

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.

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.

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
