Christopher Cannon
Counsellor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
If you feel things intensely, notice details others miss, or get overwhelmed by noise and crowds, you may be a highly sensitive person. Sensitivity is a trait to understand, not a flaw to fix. I help sensitive clients learn how their nervous system works, recognize early signs of overload, and build routines that let them use their perceptiveness as a strength.

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.

Emma Dean
Therapist, MA Hons, DipCaH, PNLP
As a Highly Sensitive Person myself, I understand the challenges of feeling deeply, I support highly sensitive people (HSPs) to feel safe, grounded, and empowered in their lives. Being highly sensitive can feel overwhelming at times — emotions, energy, and experiences are felt deeply, and the world can often feel too intense. Through a blend of integrative therapy, hypnotherapy, breathwork, and mindful practices, I help you manage overwhelm, strengthen your resilience, and connect with your unique gifts. Together, we create tools and practices that allow you to thrive, rather than just survive, in a highly stimulating world.
