Hello, I am Ali, a person-centred counsellor.
Person centred therapy aims to provide a relationship where a client will be able to seek, recognise and embrace their autonomy. I will walk beside you on your journey providing you the freedom to talk openly, and freely about any issues which are holding you back.
I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist, specialising in Grief, Loss and Bereavement, Integrative, Psychodynamic, Attachment, Hypnotherapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, this means I am very flexible in my approach to your needs.
I will remain congruent throughout our therapeutic relationship ensuring clarity, sincerity and purity.
Therapy With Me...
If you are experiencing anticipatory grief, complicated grief, bereavement, loss (due to life changes, retirement, redundancies, financial loss, or family life circumstances), or health related symptoms, I will support you to speak openly and freely. Together we will find a peaceful harmony in your life, and you will ‘find your strength.’
Sometimes, life becomes so busy it can overwhelm us. If this happens, our body and mind can become worn down by stressful factors. Anxiety and panic attacks may occur. If this sounds like you, I can offer calming relaxation techniques, and coping skills to reduce your negative thoughts, emotions and feelings. Together we will work towards a positive strategy, and you will ‘find your way.’
Do you have low self-esteem, confidence and self-worth? We will explore the source of your feelings and thoughts to understand the factors that have contributed to your negative thinking. Together we will start with ‘know your worth.’
