Why people come

When feeling everything becomes too much to carry

Perhaps you are struggling with work-life balance, or with knowing the next step in your career, your family or a relationship. Perhaps you are overwhelmed, anxious, or finding it hard to name your own values and communicate what you need.

Many highly sensitive people come to coaching because of limiting beliefs that hold them back, wounded parts that keep them stuck, or a lack of clarity about what actually matters to them. Others come because they are moving through life transitions or a transformative experience that they want to make sense of and integrate.

None of it means something has gone wrong with you.

Often it sounds like this

“Why does everything feel like too much?”

“I want to stop absorbing everyone else's feelings.”

“I don't know how to say no without guilt.”

“I want to trust myself, and be myself, without doubting myself.”

“There must be more to my life than this.”

The approach

Transpersonal and integrative coaching

A balanced, embodied approach that unites psychological and spiritual perspectives, so you can navigate your inner world and come into deeper connection with your own purpose.

Transpersonal and integrative coaching explores the depth of your psyche while giving you practical strategies for the challenges in front of you right now. It offers a framework for connecting with what matters most to you, alongside real tools for the harder aspects of sensitivity: overwhelm, overstimulation, stress and times of crisis.

My work and philosophy has been shaped by the foundations of trauma-informed coaching and psychology, as well as Jungian and depth psychology, Buddhist philosophy and various spiritual traditions. Unlike some approaches to coaching and therapy, my approach does not treat any part of you as a problem to be removed. Together we look for the deeper meaning behind the symptoms showing up in your life, so they can be understood, integrated and transformed, for your own sake and for the people around you.

I work with the understanding that there is nothing that needs to be fixed or got rid of.

How I work

Six threads that run through the sessions

These are not separate techniques applied in turn. They weave together, and how much of each we draw on depends entirely on what you bring.

Transpersonal and integrative

I'm interested in the stages of psycho-spiritual transformation, and in helping you integrate spiritual experiences rather than setting them aside as though they never happened.

Parts work

I work with the understanding that we hold many parts within the psyche, drawing on parts work and Internal Family Systems, so the parts that feel stuck can be understood rather than overridden.

Embodied & somatic

The work is body-based as well as reflective, integrating awareness of the nervous system, because sensitivity is felt in the body long before it can be put into words.

Trauma-informed

We move at the pace your system can hold. Nothing is pushed, nothing is forced open, and you stay in charge of what we approach and when.

Compassion

The space we work in is compassionate, non-judgemental and non-pathologising. Nothing you bring is treated as a symptom to be corrected, and I draw on compassion-based therapeutic approaches, which I believe are fundamental to healing and transformation.

Mindfulness

I work with, and continue to train in, mindfulness, open awareness and meditation practices, and bring them into sessions where they are useful, so that insight has somewhere quiet to land.

What we work on

How coaching can help you

Every space is shaped around what you bring. These are the threads that come up most often for the sensitive people I work with.

Connecting with the gifts of your sensitivity rather than managing them
Advocating for your own needs, in work and in relationships
Feeling more grounded, and more connected to your core Self
Navigating difficult emotions without being swept away by them
Setting boundaries that actually hold

Cultivating self-compassion and making self-care non-negotiable
Communicating your feelings and needs clearly and kindly
Clarifying your core values and your sense of purpose
Moving beyond the limits of the ego towards a larger Self
Working with the shadow and the parts of you that feel hard to accept

Topics I'm often asked to work with

You are very welcome to bring something that isn't listed here.

Living with sensitivity

Burnout and burnout recovery Overwhelm and anxiety People-pleasing and boundaries Absorbing other people's emotions Masking and feeling different Newly discovering you're highly sensitive

Life, work and relationships

Relationship issues Challenges as a parent Career transitions Midlife transition Chronic illness Grief, bereavement and beyond Setting up your own business

Depth, purpose and meaning

Clarity on purpose and vision Confidence and self-esteem The inner critical voice Finding your voice Finding your passion Times of crisis and transition Spiritual emergence and non-ordinary experiences

Practical detail

How the sessions work

No long commitment to sign up to, and no fixed programme to work through. We find the rhythm that suits you and adjust it as things change.

60-minute sessions

Held online over video, wherever you are in the world, with enough time to settle rather than rush straight in.

A rhythm that suits you

Weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on how much space you need between sessions to let things settle.

Short or long term

Single sessions or ongoing packages. Some people come for one or two sessions, others stay for years.

Not sure which would suit you? That is exactly what the free consultation is for. We can talk it through and decide together, with no obligation to book anything afterwards.

Nice to meet you

I'm Jules De Vitto

I'm the founder of the Highly Sensitive Human Academy, a hub of resources, coaching and accredited courses for highly sensitive people all over the world. I'm a highly sensitive person myself, and my work is about helping sensitive people navigate emotional overwhelm and embody their own gifts and purpose.

I've spent 18 years studying and working across psychology, coaching, therapy and education, and I draw on current research and theory from psychology, science and spirituality rather than any single school of thought.

Client voices

What people say about this work

“
I worked with Jules for over two years. Through my work with her I was able to overcome intense grief caused by loss, rebuild my confidence, and achieve a new sense of self-worth. She helped me cultivate more deeply meaningful relationships with others, my body and my heart, and I am truly, eternally grateful to her.
Cheyenne, USA 1-to-1 coaching

“
I have been having sessions with Jules on and off for nearly three years, and she has been an incredibly important support in my life and personal growth. In our sessions, Jules creates a safe space for open, judgment-free conversation. Her understanding that not everyone benefits from a standard checklist approach to coaching is invaluable.
Poppy Price 1-to-1 coaching

“
I have been working with Jules in 1:1 coaching sessions since 2019. I cannot express enough how amazing she is to work with. Her kindness and thought-provoking questions have inspired me beyond measure, and I can truly say I am a better person and can express my truth and boundaries more confidently since working with Jules.
Megan Ann 1-to-1 coaching

“
I felt welcomed and comfortable in a calming space. Jules' positive and nurturing nature made me feel at home and interested to learn from her. She has the ability to guide me towards healing and wellness. If I feel anxious about something, I can think back to her advice and feel calm.
Michael, UK 1-to-1 coaching

“
The information provided through the Academy and through my one-to-one sessions with Jules has been truly beneficial for my own self-development, and for understanding some of the reasons why I am who I am. I have related to so much of what I have heard and read, and at times I have had hallelujah moments.
Claire Williams 1-to-1 sessions

“
Jules holds the space for everyone, honouring each person's process and allowing the transformation to occur slowly, silently and soothingly. Her calm energy always has a huge influence on me, and I experience a deep sense of relaxation during her sessions.

It was very healing to be around other sensitive people. It helped me realise the value and power of my own sensitivity in ways I couldn't on my own before.

As a mum of three who barely gets any time alone, a space like this for rest, reflection and rejuvenation for the mind, body and soul was so needed. I left feeling uplifted, seen and heard.
