More about Nisha
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I hold a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Nottingham and a Diploma in Clinical Supervision from the Centre for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD).
I have been awarded accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which is a quality status for experienced practitioners who can demonstrate high standards of competent and ethical practice. I adhere to the professional body’s Ethical Framework and Professional Conduct Procedure in all my work with clients, ensuring a high standard of professional practice.
While my counselling orientation is Humanistic and is based on experiencing relational depth in the therapy, my approach is trauma informed. I am a certified provider of tension, trauma and stress releasing exercises (TRE), which is a technique that releases deeply imbedded muscular patterns of tension, calming down the nervous system and encouraging the body to return to a state of balance. Additionally, I am a fully trained eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapist; an innovative psychotherapy that uses bilateral stimulation to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories.
My interventions have been used to aid in the management of post-traumatic stress, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, phobias, complicated grief, anger, pain relief and relationship concerns.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
