Our Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) therapy worksheets are designed to support therapists and counsellors working with individuals who experience heightened emotional, sensory, and environmental sensitivity.

This comprehensive bundle takes a normalising and strengths-based approach, recognising high sensitivity as a common personality trait rather than a disorder. It supports clients to better understand their nervous system, sensory processing patterns, emotional experiences, and energy limits, while developing practical strategies for regulation, boundaries, and sustainable wellbeing.

All information, psychoeducation, and activities included in this resource are designed to be validating, practical, and easy to integrate into therapy sessions and between-session work.
