Hello, I am Ali, a person-centred counsellor.
Person-centred therapy aims to provide a relationship in which a client can seek, recognise, and embrace their autonomy. I will walk beside you on your journey, giving you the freedom to talk openly about any issues 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 going through grief, loss (from changes at work or home, money issues, or health problems), I will support you as you talk about your feelings, learn ways to cope, and feel more in control. You will be able to speak honestly and freely. Together we will restore balance in your life, and you will 'find your strength'.
Sometimes, life becomes so busy that it can overwhelm us. If this happens, our bodies and minds can become worn down by stress. 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 struggle with low self-esteem, confidence, or self-worth? Together, we will explore the source of these feelings and thoughts. This process will help you better understand yourself and develop healthier thinking patterns. We will begin with 'know your worth'.
Face to Face Therapy
I offer face to face therapy sessions in Morpeth on weekdays, with Friday availability in Gateshead.
