Welcome,

I’m Shalini Cameron

Somatic Psychotherapist • Trauma Therapist • Somatic Yoga Teacher

My work began with my own search to understand why my body continued to respond long after the experiences that shaped it had passed.

In 2020, my nervous system collapsed following years of complex trauma and chronic stress. What followed were tremors, neurological symptoms, hospital appointments and a diagnosis of Functional Neurological Disorder.

That experience changed the direction of my life.

It led me to study somatic psychotherapy, trauma recovery and nervous system healing so I could better understand the relationship between trauma, the body and recovery.

One discovery has shaped everything I teach.

Understanding trauma and helping the nervous system heal are both essential parts of recovery.

Today I help people heal their nervous system after trauma through evidence-informed education, somatic psychotherapy, practical tools and structured programmes that build safety, regulation and capacity over time.

Work with Shalini

KATE MEREDITH

“I began my sessions with Shalini After experiencing trauma as a result of a traumatic and shocking car accident, which was beyond comprehension. I totally froze at the events and had feelings of intense helplessness, shock, Terror and flashbacks.
I can only say that my trauma-healing session with Shalini was an unbelievably amazing experience.
Having worked with Shalini for many weeks, she suggested a trauma healing session, which enabled the body to speak and express itself to release the trauma that is trapped within.
The session was amazing. Everything Shalini had said about the body holding onto trauma was true, and I felt that my body could finally speak, almost shout even to be heard. As I lay in a safe spot in the comfort of my bedroom, I had Shalini's voice guide me and my body. As I closed my eyes, I had Shalini’s voice guiding me, letting me know I was safe, and my body spoke like never before. It was as if my body could finally disconnect from my mind and not feel “locked away”. My body moved and danced almost like it had never before. My body felt like it was being heard.
The itching, restlessness and heat I had been experiencing for weeks prior to this session has improved beyond measure and is almost non-existent. The heaviness in my legs has gone, making them feel as light as a feather. I can't recommend this treatment enough. The way I connected to my body and the way my body allowed itself to speak was a wonderful, wonderful experience of which I would recommend to anyone dealing with trauma.
Every session I have had with Shalini had been beneficial and very much needed and appreciated, the trauma healing session in particular, was without a doubt one of the best sessions I have had. I cannot recommend the experience enough. The freedom it gave my body and the tension and trauma it has helped to release is second to none, an amazing experience with the freeze response I had held in my body feeling it has now been discharged.”

“I sought out Shalini when I was suffering from re-emergent PTSD resulting from childhood trauma. Unlike other counsellors, Shalini understood that CBT wasn't nearly enough. With great compassion, Shalini guided me through a blend of trauma-specific therapies, including somatic techniques, hypnotherapy, EMDR and the Safe & Sound Protocol. The results were, frankly, startling. In just a few sessions, a huge weight was lifted, and the crippling trauma responses abated. I can't thank Shalini enough for her support, and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone struggling to cope with a traumatic past.”

Working with Shalini has been a truly transformative experience. She helped me understand what was happening inside my nervous system and what I had ben carrying ! Oh My gosh, it was a revelation, something that I’d been searching for a lifetime, I could make sense of what was going on, and whyI was the way I was! For the first time It felt normal and there was a way out, fast forward 6 months on, I’m like a different person, I cannot wait to keep travelling down the sequence its incredible, A true and real game changer!

What makes my approach different?

Many people understand their symptoms, triggers and story, yet continue to feel stuck. My work begins with a different question: What has the nervous system been trying to protect?

Through somatic psychotherapy, nervous system education and embodied practice, I teach a structured recovery pathway that helps people move from survival into greater safety, regulation, capacity and connection.

This work draws upon somatic psychotherapy, Polyvagal Theory, attachment theory, nervous system education and embodied approaches to healing.

It is informed by both professional training and years of supporting people through trauma, chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation.

“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 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.”

She is professional and equally friendly, offering a safe and inclusive space. Shalini has played a pivotal role in my recovery from burnout and my life has changed for the better as a result of the support and help I've received from her. I highly recommend Shalini's services.”

“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 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’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 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.”

“Helped me through a very distressing time in my life and was amazing at giving me the resources I needed to live my life and heal. I met Shalini when I was struggling with severe anxiety and depression. Definitely recommend.”

“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.”
