Neelam Bains (she/her) is a registered psychotherapist who works with a diverse population of adults and youth using relational, somatic and mindfulness approaches.

With sensitivity to her client’s trauma, felt sense, and inner knowing, therapeutic sessions provide a safe and dignity-oriented space for cultivating shifts in established patterns.

Neelam accepts only online appointments, and looks forward to connecting with you in that format.

With a background in osteopathy, mindfulness and continuum movement, Neelam brings over 25 years of somatic-focused clinical practice to her therapeutic work with clients. Integrating emotions and sensation, cognitive processes and body-centred attunement, this collaborative and creative approach facilitates reconnection with self and others.

She is a mother of teenagers and practices meditation, yoga, somatic awareness and gardening. In addition, Neelam is profoundly interested in approaches and embodied pathways that inspire compassion with self, ecology, community and the world. Email Neelam.

More About The Rosen Method
Helps people reclaim their connection to their bodies and emotional selves through touch, sensing and feeling. Following and acknowledging subtle shifts in muscle tension and breath, Rosen Method’s curious and compassionate touch creates awareness about habitual holding patterns and allows space for what has been held beneath physical and emotional habits to emerge. Rosen Method uses supportive verbal inquiry as a ‘third hand’ to bring awareness to muscular and postural patterns as well as the emotional blocks that can underlie them. In the presence of the deep, accepting listening of Rosen touch, breath expands and tissues soften. The renewed sense of spaciousness and ease can assist people in reconnecting to what has heart and meaning in their lives.
