Bingley Counselling & Psychotherapy Practice

Shalini is a fantastic therapist. I started seeing her to address many past traumas, anxiety and other emotional difficulties. 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 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.

The moment I spoke to Shalini I felt completely at ease and comfortable with her. She is so easy to talk to, understanding and for the first time in my life , I could share my traumas and feel someone genuinely cares. She has offered, tools, techniques and suggestions, that have given me strength, calm and joy and I feel I might just get the peace of mind I have yearned for for so many years.Thank you .

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 cant thank her enough for getting me through the toughest time of my life

Having been diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder, I reached out to Shalini. My life was so limited by my neurological symptoms, including non-epipleptic seizures. Using a variety of therapies and particularly SSP, a wonderful music therapy I now have a signifucant 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’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.

Bingley Counselling and Psychotherapy is a fantastic practice for anyone wanting assistance with any ongoing or situational anxieties or stresses. The setting is calming and therapeutic. The location is easy to get and in a pleasant area. The building is dual-use, so it’s great for anyone that’s a little nervous about first attending. Booking is easy and you’ll be given guidance as to how to park, pay or re-book; nothing seems too much trouble. The sessions are paced extremely intuitively there’s no pressure at all from the therapist. Everything is really well explained using a combination of talking, diagrams and props, suiting lots of learning styles. The therapy is a great investment for anyone wanting to move or grow beyond a particular pattern,or simple ‘check-in’ to help stay on track.

I was in an accident where I got a head injury and damaged part of my brain, it was incredibly scary and traumatic and I was in the worst state of my life, after trying two therapists, (one online free from the doctor) and one I paid for privately I was worse off, they just kept telling me to go out and “be positive”, it was until my friend recommended Shalini and I started seeing her that I realised how much help I needed, in our first session she listened intently and was so understanding, she showed me how to do belly breathing and reassured me that I could feel better.Shalini specialises in body and trauma therapy, throughout my time with her I have done many treatments for example rewind therapy, aromatherapy, somatic (body) therapy, yoga, massage, EFT (tapping) and EDMR to name a few. She also gave me access to SSP which is an incredible listening therapy (basically just listening to a special type of music) that had a HUGE difference on me.I am still seeing Shalini now as I recently had a traumatic experience on holiday, she has opened my eyes to so much wisdom about my body and health and I will continue to have therapy with her as a therapist and as a friend, I would highly recommend her if you are not sure what therapy to choose or how to go about therapy as she is genuinely one of the most knowledgeable and talented therapists I have ever met :)

Shalini is such a warm and compassionate therapist, who has supported me so much along my healing journey.You can tell that she genuinely cares about the work she does, and always puts me at ease no matter what I bring to each session. She's both gentle yet firm when needed, and offers suggestions and practical, somatic exercises which make therapy so much more than just sitting talking to someone in a chair for one hour.I'd thoroughly recommend Shalini to anyone that's looking for a new therapist, or to begin therapy for the first time. I'd been through so many therapists before finding Shalini, and feel like she's the best fit I've ever found.

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.
