Highly Sensitive Person
Jessica Sloan
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Hypnotherapist
Sensitivity is a wonderful strength, but in a fast-paced world, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. I provide a space where your sensitivity is honoured, and together we’ll explore how to live a life that truly supports and nurtures it.

Highly Sensitive Person
Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
If you have been told your whole life that you are "too sensitive," "too dramatic," or that you "take things too personally," you may be navigating the world as a Highly Sensitive Person. Being an HSP is not a diagnosis; it is a unique nervous system trait that allows you to process information deeply. However, in a world that is often loud and fast-paced, this can lead to chronic overstimulation, social exhaustion, and a deep sense of being misunderstood.
Using an IFS and relational approach, we will work to unpack the impact of growing up sensitive in a neurotypical world. We’ll get to know the parts of you that have learned to "mask" or hide your sensitivity to fit in. By weaving in psychodynamic insights and self-compassion, I help you move from a state of sensory and emotional overwhelm to one of self-acceptance. Together, we will focus on honoring your boundaries, protecting your energy, and reclaiming the strengths of your sensitivity—such as your deep empathy, intuition, and creativity.

Highly Sensitive Person
Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Being a highly sensitive person can be both a gift and a challenge. You might feel deeply affected by your surroundings, easily overwhelmed by noise or conflict, and quick to notice the emotions of others. While your sensitivity allows for empathy, creativity, and depth, it can also lead to exhaustion or self-criticism in a world that often feels too loud. In therapy, we’ll explore how to understand and honour your sensitivity as a strength, develop tools for emotional regulation and boundaries, and create space for rest and self-acceptance. Together, we’ll help your sensitivity feel like something to embrace, not something to manage.

Amy Moroz
Psychologist, M.Ed.C.Psych. Clinical & Counselling Psychologist
I work well with highly sensitive individuals who often feel overwhelmed by emotion, overstimulated by their environment, or burdened by others' needs. Together, we slow things down and create a space where sensitivity is not a flaw, but a strength. Using emotion-focused, somatic, and mindfulness-based strategies, we explore protective patterns like people-pleasing or emotional suppression, and begin to reconnect with your inner clarity, boundaries, and self-worth.

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.

Highly sensitive individuals often experience emotions and environments more intensely. Therapy helps develop tools to manage emotional overwhelm, strengthen boundaries, and turn sensitivity into a strength rather than a burden.

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.
