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.

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.

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.
