About me

Hi, I'm Ali. I am a counsellor at Midland Therapy Group, a low-cost counselling service. 

I work from a Person-centred approach, although I can use other approaches to adapt to the needs of the client. Person-centred counselling means I will be guided by you, as you are an expert of your lived experiences, using empathy to connect with your feelings. I will offer a non-judgemental space, for us both to be genuine and talk through what you bring into the room. 

Training, qualifications & experience

Qualifications & Training 

I have completed my foundation degree in counselling and a diploma in working with children and young people. 

Experience

I have supported clients with a range of needs, such as low self-esteem, trauma, grief, relationship conflict, anxiety and depression. 

I have a background in children's social care, youth work and working with adults with learning disabilities and autism. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
