Highly Sensitive Person Program

Hi, I’m Eva, a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) & HSP therapist.

For much of my life, I often felt overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life and struggled to feel at ease in groups. Discovering that I am highly sensitive was both a relief and a deep awakening—it felt like finally coming home to a part of myself I had long neglected.

I’ve learned to embrace this sensitivity as a gift, and it has inspired me to create a program to help other Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) feel calmer, honour their unique strengths, and live with more peace and ease.

As an HSP Therapist and Coach, I’m here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, understanding, and practical tools. Together, we can explore your sensitivity, uncover your strengths, and help you move through the world with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion

Does this sound like you?

  • You feel emotions intensely and are deeply affected by them.
  • You easily become overwhelmed by stress in work or relationships.
  • You may be a perfectionist or people-pleaser and often self-critical.
  • You are more sensitive to crowded places, extreme temperatures, loud noises, and strong smells.
  • You find changes and decision-making challenging, especially under time pressure.
  • You need alone time to recharge after busy days or social events.
  • You frequently feel anxious, worried, or emotionally drained without a clear reason.
  • You often struggle to fall asleep because of racing thoughts.

You may be one of the 20% of our population that have highly sensitive traits.

Rest assured, there's nothing wrong with you. High sensitivity, also known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS), is a completely natural trait found in 15-20% of the population. Extensively researched by Dr. Elaine Aron and others, SPS is not a disorder or diagnosis, but simply a natural aspect of some people's temperament.

Common Challenges for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)

Because highly sensitive people (HSPs) are highly attuned to their surroundings and tend to process experiences deeply, they can easily become overwhelmed or emotionally drained. Without the awareness and tools for managing emotions, HSPs may face challenges such as:
Feeling intense emotions (both good and bad)
Feeling misunderstood / isolated / alone
Perfectionism
Anxiety and Depression
Not prioritizing ourselves or setting healthy boundaries with others
Difficulty with changes or making decisions
Stress from work or school
Shyness or Social Anxiety
Overwhelm/Over-stimulation
Dislike of small-talk or shallow relationships
Once you learn more about HSP traits then how to integrate and care for them, you’ll begin to see how these traits are your unique gifts and superpower.

There are many benefits to being highly sensitive, we can be:

  • Intuitive and perceptive, often noticing subtleties that others miss

  • Highly empathetic, compassionate and considerate of others’ feelings

  • Conscientious and deep thinkers

  • Creative in many areas of life (art, music, writing, design, problem solving, etc.) 

  • Deeply moved by art or nature & connected to animals

What does this High Sensitive program include?

Many people haven’t heard about high sensitivity until we start working together. I usually begin by sharing information and resources to help you understand what it really means to be highly sensitive. Learning about this trait can be incredibly relieving—it helps clear up a lot of the myths society has about sensitivity. There is nothing wrong with you, and you don’t need to be “fixed.”

That said, if you haven’t been taught how to work with your sensitivity, it can sometimes lead to challenges like stress, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed or low. This is very common. We live in a fast-paced, demanding world, and most of us were never shown how to navigate life as a sensitive person.

I work with you around your specific experiences and challenges, offering practical ways to manage your sensitivity so it doesn’t run your life. Sometimes we’ll gently explore patterns from the past that may still be affecting you today. When this happens, I make sure the space feels safe, supportive, and at your pace.

This work can mean looking honestly at what’s been holding you back, but in my experience, many HSPs (Highly Sensitive People) begin to feel lighter and move forward fairly quickly once they gain clarity and understanding. Awareness really can open the door to new possibilities and new chapters.

This process can be especially meaningful for HSPs, who often feel a strong pull toward living with purpose and making a difference in the world. I take a personalised approach, using a range of tools and adjusting the pace depending on what you need in the moment. That might mean slowing down, creating more space, or offering extra support when things feel overwhelming. I also bring in creative practices like drawing, art therapy, and mindfulness to help deepen awareness and reconnect you with your inner world.

This work matters deeply to me. I put a lot of care into creating a space where you can safely explore your sensitivity, lean into difficult moments when needed, and start to see yourself more clearly—beyond the masks you may have learned to wear just to get by.

If this sounds like something that might support you, I’d love to invite you to take the first step and book a free 20-minute introductory chat.
