Nisha Irfan

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

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.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

A major benefit of remote therapy is flexibility – people can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.

Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. The range of available formats can help people access consistent support and engage with therapy on terms that work for them.
