Ali | Counsellor

Introduction

When we are trying to make sense of our situation or understand ourselves, we may feel we need someone to hear us. You maybe feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating grief and loss, struggling with self-esteem, facing life transitions, or experiencing depression.

We are all part of an interconnected world influenced by and influencing our relationships and situations. For this reason I give attention to your personal history, life situation and narrative.

I offer a collaborative, non-judgemental, safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Together, we work toward clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.

Online therapy

I offer professional online therapy on Zoom, making relationship counselling convenient and accessible. Virtual therapy sessions provide the same level of support, confidentiality, and effectiveness as in-person counselling, while giving you the flexibility to attend from anywhere.

Before your first online counselling session, you will receive a secure Zoom link. All you need is a private space, a stable internet connection, and a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone.

I recommend choosing a quiet, comfortable environment where you can speak openly without interruptions, ensuring your online therapy experience feels safe and focused.
