About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I'm Ali.
Many people find these winter months especially challenging for their mental health. The shorter days and reduced sunlight can affect your mood, motivation and overall well-being. You might also be facing other difficulties such as a bereavement, low self-esteem or confidence, a relationship breakdown, a major life transition, poor health or a general loss of purpose or direction. Loss can take many forms and often brings feelings of emptiness, confusion, or disconnection.
Therapy can help you navigate these challenges. I offer a warm, supportive, and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and find ways to move forward with greater clarity and resilience. Together, we can work towards restoring balance and well-being in your everyday life.
I am a fully qualified counsellor (BA Hons Counselling) and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Íø±¬ÃÅ (Accred).
I follow the guidelines and ethics set out by the Íø±¬ÃÅ for good practice.
I work with people of all faiths, cultures, sexual orientations and backgrounds.

About me and my therapy practice
Hello I'm Ali.
As a clinical supervisor I support you to work ethically, grow professionally and stay resilient.
Supervision provides space to reflect, process and gain fresh insight into your work, all within a confidential and supportive relationship.
I’m an experienced Integrative Counsellor using Person-centered, psychoanalysis, CBT, Gestalt, narrative therapy and creative approaches.
I provide supervision to:
• Counsellors and psychotherapists
• Nurses and healthcare professionals
I work in both the NHS and private sector. I am committed to ongoing CPD, reflective practice and receiving supervision for my supervision practice.
Practice description
I aim to create a space where you feel safe to bring the highs and lows of your work. Our supervisory relationship is important to me and our work will be collaborative and tailored to your needs and learning style.
I use the Seven-Eyed Model (Hawkins & Shohet) and Bands of Supervision (Gilbert & Clarkson) as models for supervision sessions to ensure a holistic approach
My first session
What to expect
• Free 30-minute initial meeting (online or in-person) to see if we’re a good fit
• Personalised supervision based on your experience, goals and learning style
• Individual or small group sessions available
• £60 per 60-minute session (frequency tailored to your needs)
• Annual review of our work together to ensure it continues to meet your needs
Next step
Feel free to contact me for an initial conversation as to your supervision requirements. Whether you’re newly qualified or an experienced practitioner, supervision can offer you insight, structure and a supportive space to grow.
