Shalini Cameron

SOMATIC PSYCHOTHERAPIST | CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPIST | RYT YOGA TEACHER | SOMATIC EDUCATOR

My journey into healing began more than a decade ago through the world of somatic yoga. For ten years, I immersed myself in movement and body-based practices, learning how the body holds stories, emotions, and wisdom that words alone can’t always reach.

Five years ago, my path deepened as I stepped into trauma and somatic psychotherapy. I began guiding clients through stress, recovery, and reconnection with the parts of themselves they thought were lost.

Through this work, I discovered something life-changing: true healing begins when we learn to understand the language of our own nervous system. Our bodies hold the keys to safety, balance, and connection, both within ourselves and with others.

After selling my high-street psychotherapy practice, I brought everything I’d learned together — psychology, neuroscience, somatic healing, and my own personal recovery — to create a space where deep, lasting healing feels accessible and empowering for everyone.

My mission is to guide you home to yourself. To help you understand your own system, reclaim steadiness, and become the architect of your own well-being. Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about remembering your wholeness and discovering that real change is possible.

My Approach

  • Nervous Systems organised around Survival.

    I see anxiety, hypervigilance, shutdown, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, people pleasing, or chronic disconnection as adaptive survival strategies that our nervous system re-organised to survive.

  • Healing at the Level the Patterns Were Formed

    Rather than approaching healing only through thought, mindset, or symptom management, my work focuses on the level where these patterns were originally formed — within the body, the nervous system, attachment relationships and the survival responses developed over time.

    Through She, Embodied, I guide women through a structured nervous system healing process that begins with safety, stabilisation, nervous system understanding and embodied support.

    From there, we gradually build greater regulation, emotional capacity, relational safety and deeper psychotherapeutic integration.

  • Grounded in Neuroscience, Attachment, and Embodied Practice

    My work is grounded in Polyvagal Theory, attachment and relational neuroscience, nervous system education and principles influenced by my training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. The practices I deliver have been recognised by the founder of Polyvagal Theory, Dr Stephen Porges.

    It is shaped not only through professional training, but through my own lived experience of CPTSD and Functional Neurological Disorder — experiences that profoundly transformed my understanding of what healing actually requires.

If something in my story or words resonates with you, I’d love to walk alongside you on your healing journey. Whether you’re ready to explore therapy, learn more about your nervous system, or simply begin reconnecting with your body, you’re welcome here.

You don’t have to do it all at once. Healing begins with one small, kind step toward yourself.
