Background and approach
She is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, commonly shown as BACP. That accreditation reflects an emphasis on ethical, professional practice. Her counselling style is humanistic and relational.
She aims to build a calm, steady therapeutic relationship where people can talk through painful memories and current challenges. Her work is trauma informed and addresses both emotional and bodily responses to stress. Nisha uses several approaches to help people make changes.
She offers eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, mindfulness-based work and attachment-informed therapy. She also incorporates practical exercises that ease tension held in the body and reduce physical symptoms that come with trauma. Sessions are practical and paced to the person.
Nisha combines talking, gentle exercises and skills you can practise between sessions. Over 12 years of practice she has helped people manage grief, complicated loss, dissociation, codependency and difficulties rooted in family of origin issues.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their situation, goals and preferences. Decisions are made together, and the plan can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit around work. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections and flexible communication between sessions. Overall online work gives more options to fit therapy around daily life and makes regular contact easier for many people.
