HSP Coach - Highly Sensitive Persons

 

Does any of this resonate with you?

  • Are you easily overwhelmed by sensory stimuli (e.g. loud sounds, strong smells, bright lights, coarse fabrics)?
  • Do you get rattled when you have a lot to do in a short period of time?
  • Does your sensitivity make you wonder if maybe there’s something wrong with you?
  • Have others called you “ultra-sensitive”, like it’s a problem that you should just get over?
  • Do you often feel like you don’t belong, like you’re an outsider, even in your own family?
  • Have you been wondering whether being an HSP might explain why you feel the way you do?

If so, you’re in the right place.

And I have some wonderful news for you: there’s nothing wrong with you.

You may simply be part of the 15-20% of the population who have the Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP) trait - also known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS).

I’m Joanne Ostler, a fellow Highly Sensitive (HSP) and a certified HSP coach.

I love helping other HSPs learn about and accept themselves more so they can feel calmer, more at ease, more fulfilled, and more comfortable day-to-day.

Having a coach is like having a trusted thinking partner who will help you navigate your way through challenges in this increasingly complex and unpredictable world.

 
 
 

CLIENT PRAISE

‘Jo has guided me on a journey that has not only been a joy but also a huge learning about myself as an HSP. 

After our calls I always felt like I could do and be anything! An unforgettable experience, thank you.’

I felt like I was overly sensitive to everything and didn’t know how to move forward.

I started coaching because I felt stuck in my personal life and professional role. I felt like I was overly sensitive to everything and didn’t know how to move forward. I was deeply dissatisfied with everything in my life and didn’t know who I was anymore. It was very difficult for me to open up and I was aware I was selectively revealing odd layers of myself, a little here and a little there. I had decided I would be open to what was suggested even if I had reservations about what I was doing. My feeling was, nothing else I had tried was working, I needed to be open to alternatives. What did I have to lose by trying? 

What surprised me most was the rapport we built so quickly. My willingness to trust you. I broke through that brick wall. I realised I was ok, that life was ok, that I actually like the adventure and I was enjoying the long overdue acknowledgement of the work I had done and the knowledge and skills I have. 

What’s next? Exciting isn’t it! Things are looking good. With your help I gained the courage to follow my intuition again and trust it. Jo, you have also guided me in a way no one has been able to. I never resented you prodding me for an answer when normally I would probably have shut down. There was a little humorous recognition in myself when I became aware you were asking me the same thing in slightly different ways. I find it hard to put into words what the past months have been like: painful, exciting, confusing, frustrating, insightful and bizarre are a few. And how instrumental you have been getting me through to the other side. It is not an exaggeration to say I think you went above and beyond what was expected. All I can say is, the universe works in mysterious ways and I’m glad I followed my hunch to contact you.
