Gal Zohar
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Being highly sensitive means you feel the world deeply — which can be both a gift and a challenge. In our work together, we’ll explore how your sensitivity shapes your relationships, emotions, and experiences, and develop tools to navigate overwhelm while honoring your unique way of being. You’ll learn to embrace your depth, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with yourself in a grounded, compassionate way.

Registered Psychotherapist, PhD (Sociology)
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.

Jennifer McDonald (Nurture Me Counselling)
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Certified Trauma-Informed Coach
If you’re a highly sensitive person, you’ve probably been told you’re “too much” or “too emotional” more times than you can count. You feel things deeply — beauty, pain, tension, joy — and that sensitivity is not a flaw. It’s a powerful part of who you are. But if you grew up with an emotionally immature parent, or experienced a challenging relationship...your sensitivity may have felt like a burden, something you were punished for rather than protected in. You might have been the emotional caretaker, the peacekeeper, the one who sensed everything — and carried more than your fair share.
As an HSP myself, I know how overwhelming the world can feel, especially when your nervous system has been shaped by childhood dynamics that taught you to walk on eggshells. The constant overthinking, the guilt, the deep empathy that sometimes leaves you drained — it’s a lot. And you deserve support that sees all of that clearly and honors it.
In our work together, we’ll create a calm, compassionate space where you don’t have to tone yourself down or explain why something hurt. We’ll gently untangle old survival patterns, explore what safety and boundaries really feel like for you, and help you come home to your sensitivity — not as something to fix, but as something to protect and cherish.
You are not too much. You were just given too little support for how deeply you feel. That can change — and I’d be honored to walk with you as it does.

The work is to help understand and embrace deep emotional and sensory responsiveness as a trait, not a flaw. Building emotional regulation, healthy boundaries and strategies to prevent overwhelm, without shutting down sensitivity is critical.
