About me and my therapy practice

Hello. I'm Ali, I'm a person-centred counsellor with 20+ years experience in helping people explore, heal and move forward into more fulfilling and authentic lives. I offer a free introductory session as I believe it is important that you find a counsellor in whom you have confidence and with whom you feel comfortable. This gives us the opportunity to meet each other and help you decide if I am the right counsellor for you. 

I have experience in working with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, abuse, bereavement, loss, trauma, sexual identity and relationship difficulties. Over the last 20+ years I have worked at a University counselling service, with a number of Employee Assistance Programmes, and run my own private practice.

I obtained my Postgraduate Diploma in person-centred counselling from the University of Strathclyde in 2001. Alongside my academic path I have had a life-long commitment to my own growth and development and am interested in all learning that opens me up to be the most alive, open and accepting person I can be. I have built up a breadth and depth of experience over the years in working both on my own journey and with others. Trained in the person-centred approach I have a deeply held belief that we each have within more wisdom to support ourselves through the stuck and painful places than we tend to imagine. I love having the opportunity to meet with each unique individual and the chance to work together to unlock that hidden potential which can be the guide to a more fulfilled and authentic life.
