Alicia Adam
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters of Psychotherapy and Counselling, Bachelors of Psychology
Highly Sensitive People (HSP) seem to soak up the experiences of all those around them. This can lead to chronic feelings of exhaustion in mind, body and spirit. You bring your experience of a HSP to me and we will work through it together. This may look like learning how to create boundaries that fit your values & strengthening your understanding of what self care feels like to you.

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.

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

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Being a Highly Sensitive Person doesn’t mean something is “wrong”; it means your nervous system processes the world more deeply and intensely. Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) support HSPs by helping regulate the activation that comes with overstimulation, strong emotions, and subtle shifts in the environment. SE brings more stability to the body by working with activation, overwhelm, and the tendency to freeze or shut down when things feel too much. ISP adds emotional capacity, helping you stay present with feelings and sensations without becoming flooded. Together, these approaches create more resilience, clearer boundaries, and a grounded sense of self, allowing sensitivity to become a strength rather than a source of exhaustion.
