Trauma-Informed Counselling & Somatic Therapy.
Grounded in nervous system healing, cultural responsiveness, and relational safety.
A Space for Embodied Healing, Growth and Inner Safety
Online Across Australia In-Person in Brisbane
If you’re here, it means a part of you is seeking change.
Maybe you've been going through the motions without really feeling alive. Perhaps you’re carrying a quiet sadness that just won’t go away, or your relationships feel like they require more effort than joy.
At New Leaf with Nisha, this experience goes beyond traditional talk therapy. It offers a steady, supportive environment where we can explore what lies beneath the surface without pressure, pathologising, or performance expectations.
I support adults and couples navigating burnout, life transitions, fertility grief, emotional disconnection, and identity shifts. Through integrative, culturally responsive counselling and body-based approaches, we make space for your unique story, your feelings, and your truth, all at a pace that feels right for you.
Embodied Healing is not a finish line. It is a return to clarity, presence, and inner safety.
You are not here to become someone else. You are invited to come home to yourself.
Hi, I’m Nisha. I’m a trauma informed counsellor and somatic therapist based in Brisbane, offering both in person and online sessions across Australia.
I didn’t come to this work through textbooks alone. My path has been shaped by grief, cultural displacement, high functioning survival, and the quiet ache of carrying too much for too long. I’m a woman who’s lived what I now support others to move through.
I know what it’s like to feel unseen. To hold strength outwardly while bracing on the inside. To carry the weight of intergenerational, cultural, and spiritual wounding and still keep showing up.
New Leaf with Nisha is shaped by both my professional training and my lived, embodied experience. Having moved through personal, collective, and intergenerational trauma, I hold space with cultural humility and deep respect, creating a place where your story is met with much-needed recognition, care and understanding.
You’re welcome to speak with me in English, Hindi, or Gujarati, whichever feels most natural to you.
My approach focuses on the whole person and ecological factors. During our work together, we will explore what’s happening in your inner world as well as the cultural, relational, and systemic influences that have shaped your nervous system, identity, and coping patterns.
This is a space for the part of you that’s tired of performing. The part ready to come home to yourself with care, safety, and no pressure to be anything but who you are.
You’re welcome to begin from exactly where you are.

Trauma Sensitive Yoga
A gentle way to reconnect with your body.
When talk therapy isn’t enough, this body-based approach supports nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and reconnection. Through mindful movement, breath, and choice, you’ll begin to rebuild trust in your body and access deeper healing.
At New Leaf with Nisha, I offer a grounded space to nurture your well-being, support authentic connection, and inspire personal growth.
My approach empowers you to come home to yourself, strengthen your relationships, and move through life with greater clarity, emotional safety, trust and purpose.
My Holistic, Trauma-Informed Approach
These pillars, as below, support a therapeutic space that honours your full humanity, including your body, mind, culture, and story.
-
I see you as a whole person, not just stories or symptoms. Together, we explore how your emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual experiences shape your feelings, healing, and connections. This approach honors all parts of you, promoting understanding and growth toward well-being.
-
Healing starts in safe relationships, with others and yourself. Together, we’ll explore early attachment wounds and build your trust, emotional safety, and connection. As my client, you are the expert of your life. I honour your insight, pace, and readiness as we explore relational patterns with care.
-
I create a warm and supportive environment where you don’t have to perform, fix anything, or prove yourself. This is your space to breathe and simply be, allowing you to reconnect with yourself and what truly resonates with you. You are welcome here just as you are.
-
We go beyond talk therapy. I integrate somatic counselling, body-based practices, and nervous system education to help you regulate, release, and reconnect with your innate sense of emotional safety.
-
Your story, identity and lived experiences matter. I practice with cultural humility and an awareness that healing is never one-size-fits-all. You are the expert of your own experience, and your voice leads the way.
TRAUMA IS NOT A DISEASE;
It’s a protective and adaptive response to past experiences.
The impact of trauma can leave lasting imprints on our emotions, thoughts, bodies, sense of self, and relationships, often shaping how we navigate the present, even without conscious awareness.
