Counselling & Psychotherapy

With many years of experience in both pastoral care and professional counselling, I am committed to bring depth, compassion, and clinical expertise into my therapeutic work.

I have a strong desire to help clients gently uncover and work through underlying mental and emotional health challenges, fostering healing, insight, and steady guidance throughout the process. I specialise in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual abuse, the impact of domestic violence, relationship difficulties, low self-confidence, and coercive control.

As a dedicated psychotherapist, I am committed to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with renewed clarity, resilience, and self-compassion. My integrative approach allows me to tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs and circumstances, creating a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard, understood, supported, and empowered.

Ali takes clients both locally, nationally and internationally, working on zoom or in person if you are locally based. 

“I came to counselling with a lot of complex trauma that I didn’t know how to understand or process. Ali helped me make sense of my experiences and supported me in developing healthier ways to respond to challenges. Through our work together, I’ve built positive coping strategies that have completely changed my perspective and outlook on life.”

“I’m not joking when I say that Ali has literally saved my life!  I was a complete mess emotionally when I started with her. There was just so much anger and hurt that I couldn’t get past, and I literally felt like life wasn’t worth living. But through my time working with her, my life has literally been transformed, and life feels like it has meaning again.”

“I never really believed that counselling would work, and I was fairly resistant and sceptical at the start. However, working with Ali felt like this huge cloud was lifted off my life, and the sun came out again. She was so gentle and patient with me, but she was also firm, which really helped me to stop burying things, and to start dealing with my issues. ”
