empathizer

One who relates

An empathizer is someone who readily feels or understands others' emotions—one who empathizes as a natural tendency rather than occasional act.

The term often appears in contrast to systemizers in psychological frameworks: She's more of an empathizer than an analyzer.

Also spelled empathiser in British English.
