Nisha Irfan

Nisha Irfan holds 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). She is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a recognised quality mark for experienced practitioners who meet professional and ethical standards.

With 12 years of clinical experience, her practice is grounded in a humanistic counselling orientation that emphasises relational depth, delivered through a trauma-informed approach. She combines attentive listening with practical therapeutic techniques to support people through difficult life experiences.

She is a certified provider of tension, trauma and stress releasing exercises (TRE), a somatic method that helps release deeply embedded muscular patterns of tension and calm the nervous system. She is also a fully trained eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapist, using bilateral stimulation to reduce the distress associated with traumatic memories.

Her interventions have been used to assist with the management of post-traumatic stress, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, phobias, complicated grief, anger, pain relief and relationship concerns.
