Highly Sensitive Person
Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel easily overwhelmed, deeply affected by your environment, or emotionally impacted by situations others seem to brush off? Many highly sensitive people grow up learning to downplay their reactions or push through overstimulation because they’re told they’re “too much”, “too sensitive”, or need to toughen up. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion, self-doubt, or disconnection from your needs.
Sensitivity is not a flaw—it’s a trait rooted in depth of processing, awareness, and empathy. What matters is how you care for yourself when stimulation and emotions arise. Together, we can explore how your sensitivity shows up, understand what your nervous system needs, and develop ways to live that honour your depth rather than drain it—so you can feel more regulated, confident, and lighter in your day-to-day life. You experience the world deeply for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

I work with highly sensitive individuals who feel easily overwhelmed or emotionally impacted by their environment. Therapy focuses on nervous-system regulation, self-acceptance, and using sensitivity as a resource rather than a burden.

Sasha Golvin
Counsellor/Therapist, Counsellor/Drama Therapist, MA, CCC,
Often overwhelmed by the needs of others? Maybe you find yourself stuck in your own emotions and thoughts. Never able to really live in the here and now. Through expressive art therapy many of these stuck thoughts or feelings can be expressed and worked through. People pleasing tendencies are something I am also very comfterable exploring in sessions.

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.
