Welcome

I’m Shalini Cameron

Somatic Psychotherapist, Trauma Therapist and Yoga Teacher

I’m a therapist, guide and someone who’s walked the path of recovery through chronic illness, complex trauma, emotional collapse, and coming home to myself.

My mission is to guide you through the process of healing and recovery and empower you to become the architect of your own well-being so you can learn and free yourself from the pain, stresses and traumas of your past. We are fast learning the nervous system is at the root of all health and dis-ease and after my own healing I ant to show you how to truly heal and be the healthiest, most regulated version of yourself you can be.

True recovery begins with understanding the connections between your mind, body and emotions and how these connections shape your experiences and your nervous system .

“There's a point in one’s life — not defined by age, but by awakening — where the cost of staying in survival becomes louder than the fear of becoming.”

Embodiment Coaching

Embodiment coaching is great for anyone who wants to reduce discomfort, strain, and stress in the body and learn the science behind and how to transform negative emotional experiences, strengthen resourcefulness, create a greater sense of Self, and build resilience to life’s challenges—embracing a new beginning in a transformed body. 

Somatic Psychotherapy

Somatic Psychotherapy is a body-centred form of therapy that utilises both psychotherapy and physical therapies. In addition to talk therapy, somatic therapy practitioners use mind-body exercises and other physical techniques to help release pent-up tension, such as stored survival stress, which can negatively impact a patient’s physical and emotional well-being.

Somatic Trauma Therapy

Somatic Trauma Therapy aims to guide the client through thwarted fight or flight responses and release the biophysical survival energies, which are locked into terrifying patterns of fear, anxiety, anger, shutdown and PTSD. Through a unified approach, we can assist individuals in integrating an understanding of their experiences, transgenerational trauma, and systemic forces of oppression.

The Roles That Protected Us

A Somatic Journey Through The Roles of Female Survival

There was a moment when your body made a decision. Before language shaped your world, before consciousness named your experience, your nervous system spoke in a language more sophisticated than words. It read the room, calibrated to safety, and learned exactly who you needed to become.

Testimonials

  • “I first met Shalini through a friend when I attended one of her fabulous yoga retreats. There was an instant connection, she was warm, understanding and had an air of peace and calm. In the following months I met with her as she helped me worked through trauma that impacted how I was living my life. She helped me to move forward, reframe my thinking and provided practical support for when things inevitably get hard.”

  • “I have been working online with Shalini for a few weeks now after reaching out to her for help with addressing relationship issues I have been having for a long time. She immediately pin pointed and explained so clearly why I was responding to certain situations. Even though we work online, I feel very comfortable speaking openly to Shalini and am already feeling strengthened by the tools she has given me. Shalini's knowledge and expertise, as well as her passion to help others, shines through and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

  • “Having been diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder, I reached out to Shalini. My life was so limited by my neurological symptoms, including non-epileptic seizures. Using a variety of therapies and particularly SSP, a wonderful music therapy I now have a significant reduction in my FND symptoms. Shalini is kind and experienced with all things FND. I would highly recommend her to anyone else with this condition. Don't stay stuck with what's happening to you - reach out to Shalini. It's life changing.”

  • “I was referred to Shalini to help with my PTSD after witnessing a major trauma. I can’t thank Shalini enough for all her help so far and for her plans for treatment and support going forward. Shalini is very easy to talk to and understanding. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Talking with Shalini has been more than valuable, her work is amazing and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a therapist to contact her.”

  • “I’ve tried a variety of therapies and counselling and nothing has ever felt right. That is until I met Shalini and I feel as though I got a new piece of myself back with each session which at one point I believed would never happen. I learnt all about my nervous system and the psychology behind what I was feeling and what was happening to me. It has been genuinely interesting. I now have techniques that have helped me immensely in my stability. Shalini guided me through Safe&Sound. Before this I was extremely jumpy , scared of my own shadow and hypervigilant. I have felt such a difference and this does not apply to me anymore. I would reccomend the lovely Shalini to anyone.”

  • “I wish I had found Shalini sooner! At least I've found her now. She integrates lots of different approaches and offers help and guidance at a level I've not been able to find with any other therapist. With Shalini it's not just scratching the surface of problems but really going to the roots of your issues. On top of that she has a very warm and understanding personality and is really good at making you feel safe.”

  • “I have been seeing Shalini for a few months now and she has helped me so much.

    I initially went to help me with the bereavement of my dad. I then realised I needed help with other aspects of my life, which we are working them.

    I feel that I can really trust Shalini with my feelings, fears and worries. I would highly recommend anyone with any worries or concerns to speak with Shalini.

    I can’t thank her enough for getting me through the toughest time of my life.”

  • “I highly recommend Shalini for anyone seeking help with their mental health. Throughout my sessions I felt safe about exploring issues and always heard. I have struggled with depression and self-esteem since before COVID and without her help I would not have felt confident to move away from home and start university.”

  • “Highly recommend Shalini. I was struggling massively in the months after losing my dad in very traumatic circumstances. She used the rewind technique to help me process what I had seen and after months of waking in terror/panic and being haunted by it, I’ve been able to sleep and think about what happened, without it being overwhelming. I look forward to the journey getting further help and learning techniques in other areas that I’ve been struggling with.”

  • “Incredible retreat. Mindfulness, meditation, yoga, river walks, river swim and incredible thunder storm thrown in to really add some energy and focus. Shalini’s calm, welcoming and nurturing personality shone and the day was just what I and the rest of the group needed. I have recommended her retreats to everyone and even booked my mum on the following one. Fantastic day and experience.”

  • “I came across Shalini whilst reading an article in Velvaere magazine, and just felt drawn to working with her. It was mainly yoga that drew me to Shalini, but when we did meet and chatted about various things, including hypno work, it made me think abouth the issue I had with clenching my teeth, which was causing me quite a lot of pain. I asked if it was something that would benefit from hypno work, and of course the answer was yes. I had just three hypno sessions, specifically working on this issue. My habit changed within these three sessions. This was nearly a year ago, and the problem has completely gone. No more clenching. Yeaaaa.”
