Kevin Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)—a trait scientifically known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS)—means your nervous system processes physical, emotional, and social stimuli more deeply and intensely than average. Coined by psychologist Dr Elaine Aron, this is a normal, innate personality trait found in roughly 15% to 20% of the population, not a flaw or a disorder.
Common Characteristics of an HSP
Deep Processing: Taking more time to reflect on situations, weighing choices carefully, and noticing subtle details, patterns, or shifts in the environment that others might miss.
Overstimulation: Feeling easily overwhelmed by bright lights, loud noises, strong smells, chaotic environments, or having too much to do in a short amount of time.
High Emotional Reactivity & Empathy: Feeling emotions very deeply—both your own and those of the people around you. You are often exceptionally intuitive, compassionate, and moved by art, music, or nature.
Needing Downtime: You need quiet, solitary time to decompress and recharge after a busy day or social gathering so you can process accumulated stress.
Sensitivity to Criticism: Being deeply hurt by harsh words or negative feedback, often because you hold yourself to high standards.
Thriving as an HSP
While the modern world can feel loud and demanding for sensitive nervous systems, high sensitivity also brings profound strengths, including deep creativity, strong intuition, conscientiousness, and rich empathy.
Remember: Your sensitivity is a unique strength. Learning to set gentle boundaries and honour your need for rest can transform how you experience the world.

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
I know about highly sensitive, because I am diagnosed it. The world and other people in it have often looked overwhelming and "too much" for me. This can lead to isolation.
The challenge is to differentiate between physical symptoms and reactions and emotional and psychological reactions. Sometimes certain measure or changes in the environment can help. The challenge is not to (blindly) escape or react with self judgement or repress. I found out that the more I open up to vulnerability, the more stable and confident I feel. I'd love to support you in accepting and fully embracing your sensitivities and learning to regulate yourself with them.
