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.

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.

Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Psychotherapist, Clinical EMDR Practitioner, Accredited Gottman Relationship Therapist
Our immediate goal is to help alleviate emotional pain and confusion and to build self confidence and coping skills. To do this we specialise in short, to long term, psychodynamic psychotherapy which consist of a series of conversations between you and your therapist.
These conversations are conducted with sensitivity, warmth and understanding in the confidential space of our consulting rooms or if preferred via Telehealth.
Our work is informed by a variety of contemporary psychological models of therapy. Most notable of these being the Conversational Model. This means we explore with you how past experiences and learned behaviour come together to influence your present day thinking and the effect that has on your future life goals and expectations. Whatever approach is best suited to you is framed around your specific needs and treatment plan that we build in collaboration with you. Our hope is the the work we do together will assist in integrating all parts of your psychological life and be demonstrated in your improved self care and life choices.

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.

Perth is one of the most geographically isolated major cities in the world, and this remoteness contributes to distinct mental health challenges — including elevated rates of depression and difficulty accessing specialist care readily available elsewhere in Australia. The city's economy has historically been tied to mining, and therapists regularly work with the psychological effects of fly-in-fly-out work arrangements, including relationship strain, parental absence, and the boom-bust cycle's impact on employment stability and identity. Fiona Stanley Hospital and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a substantial private practice community serving Subiaco, Fremantle, and the inner suburbs. Medicare Mental Health Treatment Plans provide partial subsidies for eligible residents, and telehealth plays an important role in extending care across Western Australia's enormous geography.
