Hi, I’m Shalini, a behavioural hypnotherapist and lifelong student of how the mind works.

At Nafas Hypnotherapy, I support clients with a wide range of goals, including: 

  • Stress & Anxiety Relief

  • Sleep & Insomnia Support

  • Habits and Smoking Cessation

  • Weight & Healthy Eating

  • Performance & Confidence

  • Fears & Phobias

My approach is gentle, practical, and deeply human. It’s about understanding how your mind has been trying to protect you, and then helping you explore new, more helpful ways to support the life you want to live. In my sessions, you can expect:

  • A calm, unhurried space where you’re heard without judgment

  • Clear explanations of what we’re doing and why

  • Practical tools you can use long after the session is over

  • A collaborative approach - this is something I do with you, not to you

What People Are Saying

Working with Shalini was truly life-changing. Her hypnotherapy helped me break through my exam anxiety and mental blocks. This year, I walked into exams feeling calm, confident and even joyful which was something I never thought possible. I’m so grateful for her guidance and support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone feeling stuck or held back.
