The Art of Rest
Life Coach, M.S. Psychology
The Art of Rest is constructed with the neural pathways of attention and focus in mind. We are highly successful with folks who identify as Highly Sensitive Persons because we tailor the unique nervous system capacity to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model. During our time together, HSP's tend to find they have a more robust capacity to enjoy the peaks and valleys of a full life.

Therapy with Ben
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP
Some people identify as highly sensitive or experience emotions, relationships and their surroundings particularly intensely. I offer a calm, accepting space to explore how this affects you, including overwhelm, boundaries, self-esteem and the need for recovery time. I will work with your individual experience rather than treating the label as a diagnosis.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
The work is to help understand and embrace deep emotional and sensory responsiveness as a trait, not a flaw. Building emotional regulation, healthy boundaries and strategies to prevent overwhelm, without shutting down sensitivity is critical.

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.

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.
