Understanding Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP)
Being highly sensitive means experiencing the world with greater depth and intensity. While this sensitivity can be a strength, it can also lead to feeling easily overwhelmed, stressed, or misunderstood. At Core Psychology, we honor your unique experiences and provide supportive, tailored strategies to help you manage overwhelm, set healthy boundaries, and embrace your sensitivity as a source of insight and resilience.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
As a highly sensitive person, you may feel emotions deeply, become easily overwhelmed by stress or conflict, and spend a great deal of time overthinking or worrying about others. Together, we'll help you better understand your sensitivity, develop healthy boundaries, manage emotional overwhelm, and embrace your strengths without feeling like you have to change who you are. My goal is to help you feel more confident, balanced, and empowered so your sensitivity becomes a source of resilience rather than exhaustion.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
As a highly sensitive person, you may experience emotions deeply and be especially attuned to the needs, moods, and expectations of those around you. While this awareness can be a gift, it can also make it difficult to separate your own feelings from those of others, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, drained, or unsure of what you need.
In therapy, we can explore how your sensitivity shapes your experiences and relationships, helping you build a stronger connection to your own needs, emotions, and intuition.

Rebecca Bonham
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Canadian Certified Counsellor, MPS, MTS
Many of us learned that our sensitivity was a problem, a pain, or something that made us "too much," "too needy," or "too intense." At the same time, we also learned that others with high needs were happy to use us as a sponge for their pain, big feelings, and needs, resulting in overwhelm, loss of self, and burnout for these naturally empathic souls. Together we can explore the ways your sensitivity and empathy have impacted your relationships and your identity. We'll work together to help you heal your attachment wounds, practice healthy boundaries, and practice self-compassion and self care so that you can better access the incredible gifts of your sensitive nature - your wisdom and insight, a healthier expression of empathy, and deep wells of creativity!

Andrew Saliba
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC (Registration No. 11246757), APC (Registration No. 834ON24)
With the understanding of what a highly sensitive person is, having this in mind can be a helpful part of understanding how to navigate the challenges you're facing. I take this into consideration and allow it to inform my non-judgemental, empathic approach to our work together. The highly sensitive person may experience life slightly differently than others. This understanding can be a helpful perspective in discussing intra-personal or relational issues.

Rachael Burnett
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Do you often feel more deeply affected by your environment, emotions, or the energy around you than others seem to be? Moving through the world with heightened sensitivity can sometimes bring feelings of isolation, exhaustion, or shame. Please know that you are not "broken", and you are not alone. Your capacity to feel deeply is a profound part of who you are. Together, we can honor your emotional experience instead of fighting it. Together we will work to replace self-judgment with radical kindness, learning how to protect your energy and care for your nervous system. Therapy can offer a quiet, grounding space to process the weight of the world and find ways to feel more at home in your own skin. Your sensitivity is a valuable part of your human experience, and you deserve a space where it is fully understood and respected.

Christopher Cannon
Counsellor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
If you feel things intensely, notice details others miss, or get overwhelmed by noise and crowds, you may be a highly sensitive person. Sensitivity is a trait to understand, not a flaw to fix. I help sensitive clients learn how their nervous system works, recognize early signs of overload, and build routines that let them use their perceptiveness as a strength.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Being highly sensitive is a gift that for many people feels like a curse. It can cause burnout, overwhelm, stress, sensitivity to people, emotions, energies, environments, and more. As an HSP myself, I love supporting clients in learning how to navigate the struggles of being highly sensitive and to cultivate the beauty of their sensitivity. You may have a nervous system and energy field that processes deeply, feels fully, and often carries more than it should. Maybe you've been told you are too much, too emotional, or too sensitive. It might feel like you don't quite fit in, or like others don't understand you. Our work supports you in understanding your nervous system, and healing on the level of body, emotion, and energy.

Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) means your nervous system is finely tuned to the world around you—which can feel both like a gift and a source of constant, physical exhaustion. You process information deeply, feel emotions intensely, and are hyper-aware of environmental stimuli, subtle shifts in rooms, and other people's energy. In a fast-paced world, this often leaves you stuck in chronic overwhelm, fighting off high anxiety, and turning to perfectionism or people-pleasing just to feel safe and manage the sensory overload.I provide specialized, neurodivergent-friendly counselling support for Highly Sensitive Persons looking to thrive rather than just survive. Because an HSP's mind and body are so deeply connected, traditional talk therapy can sometimes feel like it only scratches the surface. We utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to untangle the self-doubt, loud inner critics, and boundary challenges that HSPs often face. Crucially, we integrate somatic practices, tailored breathing exercises, and targeted visual exercises. By pairing these with neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting, we can look beneath the surface to safely access, process, and release the accumulated physical weight of overstimulation and hidden emotional blocks right where they are held in your nervous system.You do not have to apologize for feeling deeply or hide your sensitivity behind a mask of high-achievement. Together, we will help you slow down, honor your unique traits, and build practical, everyday tools so you can move out of burnout and step into an aligned, intentional way of living. Along with individual therapy, I offer supportive group therapy spaces where you can connect with others who truly understand the experience of navigating the world with a deeply feeling heart and mind.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Being highly sensitive can mean experiencing the world with greater emotional depth, empathy, and awareness, but it can also leave you feeling easily overwhelmed, overstimulated, or deeply affected by conflict, criticism, and other people’s emotions. You may have spent years being told you are “too sensitive,” learning to hide your reactions or push past your limits. I offer a space where sensitivity is understood as an important part of who you are, not something to fix. Together, we can work on boundaries, self-trust, emotional regulation, and creating a life that honours your sensitivity without letting it run the show.

Nicholas Breitenbach
Psychologist, R. Psych, CST, MA, BA
Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) isn’t “too much” — it usually means your nervous system notices everything, and it gets tired faster. I help HSP clients manage overwhelm, anxiety, and emotional intensity by building practical regulation tools, stronger boundaries, and clearer communication (especially in relationships). Together we’ll work on reducing burnout, separating intuition from overload, and turning sensitivity into a strength instead of a constant liability.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Highly sensitive people feel emotions deeply and naturally absorb the pain around them, often experiencing hurt more intensely. Healing means honoring that sensitivity, safely expressing emotions, and developing self-compassion and supportive relationships.
