⚡️ For years, I didn't have a name for why I felt everything so deeply and why the world left me feeling exhausted.

I was 26 when I first heard the term Highly Sensitive Person, but instead of embracing this part of myself, I buried it.

🎵 Looking back, the signs were always there. I was writing songs from age 10 and losing myself in music and imagery to escape my noisy reality. Creating was my way of processing life's intensity.

🥂 As I grew older, I rejected my sensitivity, and partied hard. I pushed myself to be tougher, and more resilient. I ignored the whispers of my body begging for rest.

Then at 31, I hit a wall. My body and spirit simply wouldn't carry on with the charade anymore.

🌱 Sobriety became my first step towards honouring my sensitivity rather than numbing it. It was terrifying at first, feeling EVERYTHING without a buffer. But music and creative expression returned as my medicine, reminding me of who I'd always been.

When I stopped fighting who I was, something beautiful happened. I discovered my sensitivity was a strength and a source of joy.

✨ Now, I help other highly sensitive women reclaim this part of themselves. To stop apologising for feeling deeply. To nurture their creative inner worlds without shame. To create boundaries without guilt, and to see their sensitivity as the gift it truly is.

In my latest article, I share how creative visualisation can be particularly powerful for HSPs – allowing us to access our natural intuition and imagination in the healing process.

If you've ever been told you're too sensitive or if you find yourself overwhelmed by the world's energy, this might just be for you. Link in bio.

Here's how you can transform your low self-worth into self-love 🩵

You might think that your sensitivity is the reason for your low self-worth.

But actually, sensitvity is an inherently neutral trait, and isn't a description of your worth.

You can still be:
Sensitive and good enough ✨
Sensitive and lovable ✨
Sensitive and confident ✨
Sensitive and liberated ✨
Sensitive and boundaried ✨

By 1) understanding your low self-worth from a root cause perspective, and 2) accessing your subconscious patterns with trance and creative visualisation, you can rewrite the old stories and replace them with stories of self-love and authenticity.

Imagine feeling secure in your sensitive self, without ever having to hide your true nature.

You have permission, dear one, to be soulfully, deeply sensitive. ✨

If you’re ready to start loving yourself, then drop me a message and let’s talk about how we might work together.

Love,

One surprising reason why you’re exhausted all the time as a sensitive woman.

I used to have low energy ALL THE TIME. And I thought that it was because I’m sensitive, therefore life is just harder, my energy reserves are lower than most and even though I was doing all the self-care things, it didn’t really seem to make a difference.

But then I learned that psychological factors can influence energy. 🧠

Low self-worth is a surprising energy drainer, because it leads to hypervigilance, and hypervigilance uses up lots of energy.

In my own therapy, I uncovered and unlearned my own subconscious patterns that were leading to hypervigilance about saying the right things and coming across in a particular way.

It wasn’t easy but the outcome was transformational. 🙌🏻

Learning how to understand and reconnect with your sense of self-worth isn’t always easy, but it can lead to a beautiful outcome.

Hey, I'm Hayley. I help intuitive, sensitive women transform from doubting their inner voice into trusting their inner knowing as their greatest gift. If you're done with surface-level fixes and ready for real change, let's talk. 🙌🏻

Finding a way to stop doubting yourself and to thrive as an empowered sensitive woman is at the heart of what I do as a psychotherapist.

Because trusting your own intuition, thoughts, and feelings, can be life changing. Imagine making the right decisions for yourself every day.

Imagine being able to manage your energy levels, your relationships, your food choices, and your self-care choices without constantly overthinking every tiny detail or checking in with what everyone else thinks first.

Life can be ahhhmazing with the right tools and practices 🙌🏻

If you’re ready to trust yourself and to start living your life for you rather than for everyone else, then drop me a message and let’s talk about how we might work together.

This is probably why you’re unable to move out of surviving into thriving as a sensitive woman.

Being a chameleon and hiding your true beautiful sensitive colours might seem like a good way to avoid emotional pain and discomfort.

Perhaps you’ve been told that you’re too sensitive and so you don’t want to rock the boat with your big feelings when your friend cancels or you want to go home early.

You can’t shame yourself into happiness, bu you CAN love yourself into change.

✨

Learning how to love yourself is the first step to becoming confident, empowered, and vibrant as a sensitive woman, is totally possible with the right kind of therapeutic approach.

👇🏼

Some of the tools that I use is to help you build up your self-compassion through mindfulness, sand shame work. Self-compassion is a powerful mindset for personal growth.

A more authentic life to you means being able to confidently be your sensitive self without apology, and self-compassion can help you to get there.

If this resonates with you and you’d like to confidently step into your true sensitive self, you can book a free call via the link in my bio or DM me to chat.

Am I right?!

Your worth is not determined by how little you ask for.

You may not even be consciously aware that you are basing your self-worth on what others think of you. But if you find yourself pleasing others in a way that feels misaligned, a common reason is because you’re managing your own levels of self-worth.

Here's a little thing to try.

Place a hand on your heart, and breathe into your body. Remind yourself out loud that your worth is unconditional. Your subconscious mind will be listening.

🩵🌸

You can exist on this earth just as you are.

Why people pleasing was significantly harmful for me, and how I stopped (even as a highly sensitive woman).

I used to people please ALL the time. I used to be proud of being easygoing and thought that people who weren’t like me were fussy. But then during therapy I realised that people pleasing was harming me in many ways, especially in relationships.

With my therapist, I figured out that I was opening myself up to manipulation and abuse. By exploring my subconscious patterns from a root cause perspective, talking about shame and fear, and doing creative visualisation techniques, I was able to liberate myself from the low self-esteem and confidence issues that caused the people pleasing.

✨

Nowadays I’m empowered, liberated, free to express my needs and brave enough to dream again. I’m no longer self-harming as a result of people pleasing.

Working on this aspect of my conditioning has completely transformed my life. So much so that I can now help my clients to do the same.

And this is exactly what we would do if we worked together.

🩵

You can simultaneously be kind whilst still taking up space in the world.

Imagine how good it would feel to be yourself, to have deep and trusting relationships with people who truly get you.

🙌🏻

If you’re ready to break up with people pleasing, and to start enjoying relationships that are built and trust and authenticity, then drop me a message and let’s talk about how we might work together.

I see you.

I see you working hard to please your friends, your partner and your work colleagues, but feeling guilty when you think you may have upset someone.

Because of the guilt, you start eating and drinking your feelings.

You try and talk yourself into doing things differently but nothing changes.

Here’s why this is happening:

✨️ You don’t trust your judgment, so you look to others for validation.

✨️ Instead of speaking your truth (even for small things like what time to meet for dinner, or what to wear), your instinct is to ask others what they think first.

✨️ This can become exhausting because you’re constantly adjusting yourself to fit in with everyone else.

By going along with everyone else instead, you are giving away your precious time, energy, power, and even your identity.

🌸

If it feels like life is happening to you, rather than for you, then you may benefit from getting to know yourself.

One thing I often encourage my clients to do is to start noticing their sensations.

✨️ When you say “yes” versus “no” to someone, what are you feeling in your body?

✨️ When you ask someone for their opinion, do any sensations come up?

✨️ Can you connect with your sensations by describing where you feel them, or by describing their texture or intensity?

Observing sensations is a first step to connecting your mind and body, which over time can help you start recognising your thoughts and feelings.

The more you know yourself, the more you trust yourself.

🩵

I help sensitive women learn to know and love themselves AND to stop people pleasing.

If you're looking for a gentle but real therapist, I'd love to work with you. You can enquire via the link in my bio or by sending me a DM.

I have something to share about highly sensitive women and people-pleasing that I’ve been meaning to talk about.

Learning the tools you’ll need to overcome people pleasing and improve your confidence whilst still being true to your sensitivity is exactly what we would work on together.

🙌🏻

One of the tools that I use is creative visualisation. This is a powerful approach that helps you to engage in whole brain thinking. It activates parts of the brain associated with decision making, planning, and self-awareness, which can improve your confidence in so many ways!

✨

A more authentic life to you means being able to confidently make decisions from a place of love, respect, and clarity, rather than from a place of fear or inadequacy, and visualisation can help you to get there.

If this resonates with you and you’d like to confidently step into your true sensitive self, you can book a free call via the link in my bio or DM me to chat.

If you're part of the 20% who feel everything more deeply than most, meditation isn't just a nice-to-have – it's essential equipment for navigating a world that often feels noisy and overwhelming.

I've been a meditator for over 10 years and LOVE using meditation and visualisation in my therapy practice. As a highly sensitive person myself, I know firsthand how transformative the right kind of meditation practice can be for your unique nervous system. ✨

As a woman in recovery for almost 8 years, meditation probably saved my life. Sounds a bit dramatic, but that's how it feels. Creating the space to listen to your heart, body, and of course the mind, is more powerful than you might think.

That's why I've created a meditation designed specifically for highly sensitive people. It combines breathwork, emotional awareness, and plenty of space to return home (to your mind and body). 🏡

These ideas aren't just what I teach – they're how I live.

As a highly sensitive person, I spent years trying to be someone who I thought I 'should' be - someone who could drink the lads under the table, who could run gruelling trail events, and who was 'tough' and 'strong' (whilst also doing a PhD because I thought that would solve my inadequacy).

I'd push through sensory overload, say yes when my body was screaming no, and wonder why I'd end up completely drained.

The turning point came in 2017 after a period of too much drinking and partying – I was numbing my sensitivity but I had no idea how disconnected I really was. I crashed – hard. My body was falling apart.

That breakdown became my breakthrough. I stopped drinking and slowly began rebuilding my identity, piece by piece. I realised I wasn't broken for needing what I need. My sensitivity isn't a design flaw – it's a different operating system that requires different care. 🩵

These slides share the daily practices that have transformed my relationship with my sensitivity. They're simple but profound shifts that have allowed me to feel at home in my body rather than constantly at war with it.

The most revolutionary act wasn't changing everything – it was finally accepting myself exactly as I am. 🙌🏻

If you're a highly sensitive woman who's exhausted from trying to fit into a world that wasn't designed for you, know that another way is possible. Book a free 30-minute connection call with me to explore how we might work together to see your sensitivity as the gift it truly is. Link in bio.

Being sensitive was something I always hated about myself. I worked so hard to be someone different. I did everything in my power to appear cool and confident, and in some ways, I succeeded.

I succeeded in having an identity that was completely the opposite of my true nature. But it wasn't sustainable. I drank myself into oblivion, partied hard, numbed my feelings, and spent precious energy on the wrong things.

🐛🦋

My life nowadays is a stark contrast to the way things used to be. I no longer abandon myself to fit in. Instead, I accept my gentle nature. I even moved to the countryside, away from the 's*x, drugs & rock & roll' band lifestyle that I used to have - rubbing shoulders with Brummie musos and hanging out in city centre lock-ups.

I still love a lot about my old life, especially the music and the mates, and sometimes I still pine for it. But I know that my needs are different. My pleasures are different. My purpose is different. ✨️

I've made peace with who I am, and most of the time, I no longer feel the need to wear that mask.

To feel at peace is to be in my truth, and my sensitivity is the compass. My sensory boundaries keep the good vibes in check. 🧭💙
