Support Grounded in Presence, Integrity, and Whole-Person Healing

At New Leaf with Nisha, my focus is on nurturing your whole self, not just managing or fixing problems. My goal is to create a truly welcoming space where you can express yourself authentically and feel deeply seen.

If you're navigating quiet grief, relational strain, fertility challenges, or carrying the weight of long-held emotional patterns, you'll find compassion and understanding here. I approach these experiences thoughtfully, fostering growth without the pressure of urgency. My aim is to support you in re-establishing safety, trustworthiness, collaboration, choice, and empowerment within yourself and all your relationships, guided by the core principles of trauma-informed care.

Our collaborative work together supports your steady emotional recalibration at a pace that feels right for you and on your terms. This is a safe environment where healing naturally unfolds through trust, relational presence, and the innate wisdom of your own body.

Areas I Commonly Support Clients With

• Life transitions, identity shifts, and purpose realignment

• Grief and loss, including disenfranchised and intergenerational trauma

• Relational trauma, attachment wounds, and self-worth

• Fertility and reproductive grief

• Emotional regulation, boundaries, and nervous system education

• Rebuilding self-trust, clarity, and connection

Why Somatic Counselling? Holistic Healing for Trauma & Stress

Emotions aren't just thoughts; they're deeply experienced and stored in our bodies. When past experiences, especially unresolved trauma or chronic stress, remain unprocessed, their impact can manifest as persistent tension, anxiety, or a sense of disconnection, subtly shaping our thoughts, behaviours, and relationships, often outside our conscious awareness.

At New Leaf with Nisha, I offer a holistic somatic counselling approach that thoughtfully integrates the insight and narrative power of talk therapy with the embodied wisdom of Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TSY) and other mind-body practices. This means we don't just talk about your experiences; we gently explore how they live in your body, creating a safe path for release and integration.

This integrated approach helps you with:

• Regulating emotional overwhelm and intense feelings.

• Healing trauma by creating new responses beyond old patterns: interrupting automatic survival responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) through conscious choice and agency.

• Reclaiming presence, connection, and emotional safety: Cultivating a felt sense of groundedness and trust within your own body for deeper engagement with yourself and others.

This therapeutic process emphasises choice, agency, and present-moment awareness, ensuring you always feel empowered and in control of your experience. By reconnecting your mind, body, and emotional world in this way, we foster lasting change, supporting greater clarity, trust, and alignment from the inside out. Hence, it makes somatic therapy a powerful tool for trauma recovery, re-establishing emotional safety and nervous system regulation.
