Ideas on how to help sensitive 4 year old

Hi there

My daughter is 4 & despite being sociable & loud most of the time (not exactly shy) she gets overwhelmed easily. It's not all the time, I.e, she can be in a small room with lots of people & noise & join in, the next week/month the same scenario & she gets upset due to in her words, how loud it is.

She starts school in September & I know there will be challenging situations ahead. I just thought I'd ask if anyone had any suggestions for helping her when she's overwhelmed, & the best way to instil confidence within her.

We have come a long way as when she was 2/3 she couldn't stand clapping/hand dryers etc & these aren't such an issue, just now & again she will react sensitively & I am out of ideas on how to help her. Thank you if you got this far!
