Highly Sensitive Person
Jasmine Gill Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
Being deeply attuned to the world and to yourself can be both a gift and a challenge. Feeling others’ emotions so strongly that they become intertwined with your own can be overwhelming, leading the nervous system to seek refuge or pull back. Being a Highly Sensitive Person brings remarkable empathy, yet it can also leave you feeling drained or disconnected from your own needs.
In therapy, I aim to create a safe, attuned space to explore how your sensitivity shapes your experience of self and others. Together, we’ll uncover the underlying needs for rest, regulation, and emotional nourishment, and develop ways to establish healthy boundaries that protect your well being. This work supports not only a stronger sense of self, but also the ability to engage deeply and authentically with the world without losing yourself in it.

If you identify as a highly sensitive person, you may feel easily overstimulated, emotionally affected, or misunderstood. I help HSPs embrace their sensitivity as a strength, build tools for nervous system care, and thrive in alignment with their unique needs.

Highly Sensitive Person
Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Being a highly sensitive person can mean experiencing emotions deeply, noticing subtle details in your environment, and feeling easily overwhelmed by stimulation or stress. While sensitivity is also a strength, it can sometimes feel intense or exhausting. Therapy provides a validating space to better understand sensitivity, develop grounding and boundary-setting skills, and learn how to thrive while honouring your natural temperament.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Being a highly sensitive person often means experiencing the world—and emotions—more intensely, which can show up as overwhelm, tension, or sensory overload. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy engage both body and mind, helping highly sensitive individuals process emotions safely, regulate their nervous system, and cultivate resilience, grounding, and a deeper sense of self-understanding.
