That's not quite true. Several of the Doctor's companions have been able to operate the Tardis, and most, if not all of them, weren't psychic. And all were human, except for the red-headed guy who was recruited by teh Master to kill the Doctor, and who later switched sides. He was from another race, but looked human.

Ok. Humans can operate the controls and do the calculations, but there are several bits where it helps a lot to be time-sensitive, and I think it might be required for some of the engineering. There are also some times when other races are trying to develop time ships, and they need time sensitives to help them pilot them, such as the fun episode where the TARDIS ends up at imaginary space/time coordinates between universes, because some renegade slavers who don't entirely understand what they're trying to do have a ship with a hull made of Dwarf Star Alloy which is sucking everything around it closer and closer. They have enslaved members of a time-sensitive race whom they need to be able to pilot their ship properly. The whole theme of people trying to do fantastic things, often involving time travel, but not really understanding, is pretty common in the series.

And, there were several non-human companions, too. Not that many of them were time-sensitive.
