Counselling in 4068
As part of normal life we all have to face challenges from time to time. Over 30 years in private practice, helping people overcome their challenges, has taught me a lot about human resilience and capacity for change. But for most people, knowing how to tackle life’s challenges is not the end goal. Beyond that, they also want their life to feel meaningful!

Some come to me in crisis after an affair, a betrayal, or a breach of trust that’s changed everything. Others come because they can feel their patterns hardening and want to interrupt them before they become permanent. Many are couples without children yet, whether they’re childfree by choice, still deciding, or preparing for the transition to parenthood and wanting to get their relationship solid first.

Good therapy is gold.
I work with somatic modalities to help people's bodymind heal from stress, anxiety, PTSD, early life relational trauma and more. Anxiety and trauma is more common than we think and individualised therapy can make a real difference.

As a late diagnosed Autistic/ADHD/PDA individual, I proudly own who I am and utilise this as a foundation for my framework of practise as a Registered Counsellor. It has given me the permission to deeply root myself in neurodiverse affirmative counselling; a strengths based, non-pathologising type of therapy where each individual’s unique neurotype, sensory needs, values, beliefs, and current lifestyle form the foundation for therapy. It gives me such joy to work with people in the process of unmasking, and gently guide them as they discover what living authentically can be like.

If you are struggling with past events, or current emotions, thoughts or nightmares, I can help. If you’ve never seen a psychologist and are worried about the process, try a session with me. If you haven’t yet found the psychologist you ‘click’ with, the one that understands you, I might be the one who understands. Or one of my team at Unburden Psychology - I have specially chosen each clinician on the team, so I know they are good! If I am not available at times that suit you, try one of my team.

Do you want to try one session to get a ‘life consult’ for yourself or someone you care about? I offer Single Session Therapy as well as ongoing counselling.

I'm Nisha Trivedi, a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor, Somatic Practitioner, and certified Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator (TCTSY-F).
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable adults who find themselves repeatedly prioritising the needs of others, struggling to set boundaries without guilt, or carrying responsibilities that feel difficult to share. Alongside this, they may be navigating grief, relational trauma, fertility experiences, workplace stress, cultural expectations, or significant life transitions. Therapy offers space to explore these experiences with greater awareness, choice, and support

You are tired of explaining how your brain works; you just want it to feel like home. I support late-diagnosed women and neurodivergent family units who are ready to break the 'burnout-mask-repeat' cycle. Whether you are navigating a new discovery or seeking harmony in your world, I offer a soft landing where your needs from sensory safety to boundary building are finally the priority. Here, your authentic self is not something to hide; it is the very blueprint we use to build a life that actually fits.

As a qualified career counsellor, I work with people who feel unsure about their next step in work, study or life direction. This includes adults navigating career change, young people planning pathways, or anyone feeling overwhelmed by decisions. I offer a steady, practical space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening and move toward choices that feel clearer and more aligned.

My ideal client is an everyday adult who is managing multiple responsibilities while quietly carrying emotional exhaustion. They are responsible, capable, and outwardly coping, but inwardly feel overwhelmed, unseen, or emotionally drained. They do not see themselves as “in crisis” but sense that something is off and unsustainable. What they seek is not quick advice, but a safe, culturally understanding space to be heard, make sense of their emotions, and learn healthier ways to cope - without judgement, pressure or guilt.

Since 2005, I have worked as a psychotherapist and social worker in a range of human service and community work settings. My clinical practice has been shaped by people's experience of chronic illness, natural disasters, trauma, disability, mental ill-health, ageing, grief and loss. I consider the therapeutic space to be a safe and enriched environment. I strive to bring a gentle curiosity to these explorations, and to acknowledge the importance of working at your pace. Central to my work is a belief in our capacity for insight, creativity, and growth – particularly in response to the difficulties we face.
