About me
Welcome to my page. My name is Ali. Reaching out takes courage, whether it is your first time or one you have taken before.
How can I help you?
Do you feel anxious, stressed, stuck or lost? I can help you with a variety of issues ranging from anxiety, depression, bereavement, grief, low self-esteem, or trauma. I have a particular interest in near-death experiences (NED), whether in a literal sense or in a symbolic sense. As individuals, we all have different descriptions and experiences to what it means to lose a part of ourselves and sometimes this can be very difficult to express or understand it. I offer a weekend counselling/psychotherapy service for those who struggle to find time for themselves during the traditional working week.
Therapeutic Approach:
You are welcomed into a calm, non-judgemental space. Together, we take time to understand what you need and gently find the most supportive route forward at your pace, in your way. I offer an empathetic and non-judgemental space and I welcome people from all walks of life, who are met with care and respect.
My process is relational, which means that the therapeutic relationship between you and I is the fundamental process to help you manage what is happening or happened in your life. I also have an interest in Psychodynamic approach, this means exploring how your childhood experiences is impacting your current experiences.
Who do I work with?
I offer short-term or long-term therapy Online sessions (only) for 50 minutes. I can help with various areas ranging from but not limited to the following: anxiety, depression, work-related stress, abuse, low self-esteem, relationship problems, suicidal thoughts, bereavement, grief, family issues, trauma, spirituality, physical health, and near-death experiences.
If this approach sounds like something you might be interested in, feel free to message or email me and I would be happy to schedule an initial chat for approximately 10 minutes, to see how I can help you with your needs.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
