Are you someone who notices the subtle hues of emotions, feels the symphony of the surroundings, and often finds solace in the quiet corners of your mind? You might be a Highly Sensitive Person, and this drop-in café is your refuge.
Step into a space crafted with care, understanding, and warmth, where we invite you to embrace your unique trait and connect with kindred spirits who understand the beauty of depth and the strength in vulnerability. In our HSP Café, conversations flow and connections are forged on the common ground of shared sensitivity. Whether you seek a moment of quiet reflection, a heart-to-heart with fellow HSPs, or just the comfort of knowing you're not alone, our doors are wide open for you.
Come, join us for a cuppa and cake in an atmosphere where being sensitive is not just accepted but celebrated. Ask questions, share experiences, or just listen. The HSP Café is more than a space; it's a community, a haven, and a reminder that sensitivity is a beautiful facet of the human experience.
Come and drop in anytime and stay for as long or as little as you like. It is very relaxed and there is no pressure to join in and chat, you are welcome to be with us and listen if you prefer.

What is High Sensitivity?
Discovered by Dr. Elaine Aron 25 years ago, her research revealed that this trait is found in 20% of all people. It’s characterised by a finely tuned nervous system and an acute awareness of subtleties. It's not just a personality quirk; it's a neurological difference that brings with it a unique set of strengths and challenges. HSPs process the world around them very deeply, have strong emotional responses and are naturally very empathic. HSPs get overstimulated easily and often have sensory sensitivity to things such as food, noise, lighting etc.
If you’re curious about the HSP trait you can take the self-test here. HSPs are known as Orchids in this model. https://sensitivityresearch.com/self-tests/adult-self-test/
