Trickett Psychotherapy & Counselling

Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) means your nervous system processes emotions, experiences, and your surroundings more deeply than most people. While sensitivity can be a strength, it can also lead to feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, anxious, or affected by stress, conflict, or sensory overload. 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. Contact us today to book your consultation and learn how to turn your sensitivity into a source of strength.

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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you identify as a highly sensitive person, you may notice that you feel things deeply. You might pick up on subtle shifts in tone, atmosphere, or emotion that others seem to miss. While this sensitivity can be a strength, it can also feel overwhelming. You may become easily overstimulated, need more recovery time after social interactions, or struggle with boundaries because you are so attuned to others.
At Selah Counselling, we view high sensitivity as a trait, not a flaw. Your nervous system is wired to process information more deeply. Together, we work to understand how your sensitivity operates, strengthen regulation skills, and build clear boundaries that protect your energy. Our goal is to help you embrace your empathy and insight without becoming emotionally depleted. With practical tools and increased self-awareness, you can learn to honour your sensitivity while living with greater steadiness and confidence.

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.
