About me
Do you struggle to find your place in the world? Maybe life feels really overwhelming and you're feeling all of these emotions that seem to be building up. Maybe you grew up learning that your needs weren't important and now you struggle to understand who you are. That sounds exhausting, so of course you find it difficult to show up for yourself, let alone anyone else. I know its hard to keep on top of everything when life feels like one obstacle after another. BUT, I also know that you owe it to yourself to show up and take space.
If you've tried to solve things but nothing seems to work, there could be something more deep-rooted. Therapy can help to uncover these hidden parts of life that seem to be holding you down. As lonely, overwhelmed, exhausted and helpless feelings arise, I need you to know that those feelings are insights that can be used to make your existence a better one. That sounds intimidating, I know. Those butterflies you just felt is your body telling you there's something there that hasn't been solved.
I'm Irfan Ali. I'm a registered therapist- but don't let that title fool you. I've seen my fair share of challenging life experiences where I've struggled to figure out what I need to feel better. To live in a world where at times it feels like you don't belong, I've been there. I now use this insight to help people like you who share those challenges. I now have years of expertise and experience to support you to come out on the other end. There isn't much I haven't seen so don't wait and contact me today!

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.
