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.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with great emotional depth and intensity. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to help sensitive individuals develop emotional boundaries, nervous system regulation, and self-trust. This process supports sensitivity as a strength rather than a source of overwhelm.

At Trickett Psychotherapy & Counselling, we help adults better understand and embrace their sensitivity while developing practical strategies for emotional regulation, healthy boundaries, resilience, and self-confidence. We offer therapy for Highly Sensitive Persons in Guelph and secure online therapy across Ontario.

Self-care is critical for HSP, and there are other aspects of improving the condition so that the person can lead a more fulfilling life, more robust and resilient. We also take care that being hyper sensitive is a huge gift!
