HSPconnect

Connect with a community of
Highly Sensitive People and make
friends

Build a Supportive Community

Find and connect with other Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) either online or in-person. Feel supported and validated in your sensitivity. Create friendships and collaborations with other HSPs who share similar interests to you.

Does this sound like you?

Have you felt alone and unsupported with your sensitivity?
Do you crave for real community where people are deeply invested in the care and support of each other?
Do you have ideas or plans that you want to put into action and just know how much easier it would be with the right support?
Have you felt a longing for more meaningful and deeper friendships?
Maybe you love supporting others to be their best selves too, but are often left drained and exhausted?

The truth is HSPs are great listeners and are often
valued friends but can feel put upon and
overloaded by others’ needs.

You often find yourself overgiving in your relationships.
You’re afraid of, or don’t know how to say, no to people because you’re sure it’ll cost you, so
you keep giving and giving - you’re running on fumes.
What if you had other people in your life who understood this and were better able to
balance your needs as well as their own?
What if you felt emotionally safe enough to be truly yourself with other people? (Even your
weird self….most HSPs think they’re weird, you’re in good company!)

How HSPconnect works

Multi-country focus
Every member will have a profile on a global map showing their approximate location, and that of every member (coming April 2025)
Direct message those members who you would like to chat or meet up with
The Spaces are like different discussion rooms where we congregate to ask questions or share topics of interest
Private Space for BIPOC members
Private Space for LGBTQIA+ members
Private Space for Counsellors & Psychotherapists
Member Spotlight is for members to write articles or share their writing in any way that's important to them
Exclusive events for members are included in the membership fee (in person and online)
Only share how much you want to share, a little or a lot, for others to find you and connect

This is not the live map but an example of what the UK map will look like after you join (coming April 2025). You’ll be able to click on each pin to see other members details and make contact if you wish.

Join the regular, hosted, small group community meetings included in your membership.

There are Sharing Circles which are an opportunity to share and get to know each other better, also Deeper Discussions which are focussed on a particular topic.

We also hold regular breath work, guided meditation and yoga nidra.

A private community platform to share thoughts, ideas and ask for information, all in a respectful and friendly space only for HSPs.

Testimonials

“HSPconnect has been an absolute game-changer for me. As a Highly Sensitive Person, I often felt like I was navigating the world alone, but this community has shown me that I’m far from it.

The app is packed with insightful resources that help me understand myself better, and the online chats provide a safe, welcoming space to share experiences with people who truly get it. The regular online meet-ups are a highlight—they’re supportive, uplifting, and a great way to connect on a deeper level.

A huge thank you to Cindy Gale, the founder and organiser of HSPconnect. She has created such a warm, understanding, and inspiring community where HSPs can feel truly seen and heard. If you’re looking for understanding, connection, and practical support, I can’t recommend HSPconnect enough!”

Sarah Jane Mcardle, Lancashire, UK

“Being part of HSPconnect has been a really special experience. It’s not just a place to talk about being highly sensitive—it’s a space where I feel truly understood. The conversations are deep and meaningful, and there’s a real sense of support and connection.

It’s amazing to meet others who just get it without needing a long explanation.

If you’re an HSP looking for community, I can’t recommend it enough.”

Rune Teigland, Bergen, Norway

"I was feeling very isolated in my sensitivity but there are people here who really get me!"

AJ, Michigan, USA

Imagine you…

…felt empowered by your sensitivity and not held back

…could bring your sensitive gifts and projects to the world

…felt strongly emotionally supported

Cindy’s journey

I believe we have a crisis of friendship in the world today and my commitment to you is to support the creation and development of a community of HSPs where people are deeply invested in the care and support of each other. Where respect and emotional maturity is fostered.

I’m an HSP and have been a psychotherapist for 22 years. I work one-to-one, hold support groups, therapy groups, teach workshops and have been specialising in working with HSPs for 12 years.

I have particular interests in nature and spirituality, and I support people with eco distress.

As a white woman, I am committed to anti-racism and decolonisation work. You are especially welcome to this membership if you identify as Black, Asian or from a Minority Ethnic culture.

I have been running a large community of highly sensitive people for the past 12 years with regular meetings, both community meetings and social gatherings. HSPconnect is building from that foundation and is different in that it gives you the opportunity to build and develop relationships over time.

I want to develop this community with you and see it evolve and change over time as we address the needs of the group.

I hope you will join and we can create something much needed and wonderful together.
