About me

Hi, I'm Ali and I'm a person-centred therapist with 20+ years experience in helping people address their concerns, explore, heal and move forward into more fulfilling and authentic lives. I obtained my Postgraduate Diploma in person-centred counselling from the University of Strathclyde in 2001. Previously I obtained my MSW from the University of Edinburgh in 1992 and and a BSC in 1990. 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. I am interested and experienced in working with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, 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 in my own private practice.

I am a Registered Accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and committed to working within their ethical guidelines for good practice.
