Working with Ali has been nothing short of life-changing. I came to therapy during a particularly difficult time, feeling overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted.
From our very first conversation, Ali made me feel safe, seen, and truly heard.
Her presence is calm and grounding, and she has a unique ability to listen without judgment while gently guiding you toward clarity and healing. What stood out immediately was how quickly she understood what I was going through — and how skillfully she introduced practical, effective techniques to help regulate my emotions and manage stress.
We began working with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) early on, and I was genuinely surprised by how effective it was. Within a few sessions, I was able to process memories and experiences that had weighed heavily on me for years. Ali approached each session with compassion, care, and professionalism, always ensuring I felt safe and supported.
She doesn't just follow a formula — every session is tailored to where I am that day. Whether I arrive feeling overwhelmed or steady, she meets me there, equipping me with tools that I can use well beyond our time together.
Therapy with Ali has helped me feel stronger, more grounded, and better equipped to navigate life’s challenges. I’m incredibly grateful for the work we’ve done together, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking thoughtful, effective, and compassionate support.

Ali provided a block of life coaching sessions, looking at my past, present and future. She used a variety of tools but also had a broad range of experience, leading me to models and research to challenge my thinking or support my development. I came away reflecting on the intense period of personal growth, with an idea of what I am aspiring for and steps to get there. This is so much more positive and action focused than therapy, I would highly recommend the practice and Ali, who was warm, informed and engaging. More...

Ali has been a tremendous support to me, through difficult and Frightening times where I found myself overwhelmed with anxiety and panic
She’s given me the tools to deal with this, which have been invaluable, which I use on a daily basis, she also helped me to find myself again, where I’ve been so lost and frightened of my own shadow, I know a lot of people suffer with anxiety and demons but not everyone seeks help, I can’t recommend Ali enough she helped me remember how strong and confident I was and this is still me and just couldn’t see it
Thank you Ali for giving me my life back xxx

Irene
Therapist
Working with Ali was the best decision I made. I was suffering with anxiety for the last 18 months and as a result of a traumatic event over New Years my anxiety was through the roof. This was impacting my home life and work and I couldn’t function on a day to day basis. Ali listened to me and recommended the best course of action. Explained how the therapy worked and how long it would take. After 5 sessions with Ali I am feeling so much better, my relationships with the people around me has improved, I can concentrate on work and get things done and I can now control my anxiety and thoughts when I start getting in my head and overthink things. I am so thankful I came across Ali and grateful for all she did to help me. More...

It's been an absolute joy to see your progress Irene and also how you've implemented the techniques we covered during the EMDR process.

EMDR work with Ali took me by surprise. It altered my perception of things, and my reactions to situations that would previously have sent me me in to a mental orbit.
Ali has a really warm, comforting manner and talking to her feels safe.
I would recommend Ali to anyone in need of a nurturing, professional helping hand.

Jordan
Therapist
After an accumulation of numerous traumas which I had buried and not known how to deal with for many years, I was sick and tired of living life in the passengers seat. I felt consumed by my previous life dramas and had lost all hope, confidence and pride in myself. I was so anxious and unhappy with my life; I finally decided to change this. Ali showed me how to calm my anxiety, re-process my past and view the many things that were holding me back with a clearer and more rational mindset. Ali introduced me to various techniques; the most notable being EMDR. I was very surprised at how quickly EMDR allowed me to process and challenge the thinking surrounding my past allowing me to finally be at peace. I now live a completely different life prior to working with Ali where I feel free, relaxed and excited by life. My relationships with friends and family are better than ever, I am noticeably more confident in my professional life and find myself doing things on a day to day basis that shock me. The old me would have never had that level of confidence. My true self is flourishing. Ali is the best, honestly! More...

I stumbled across Ali and what a catch I made! I was looking for direction in my life after having too many curveballs. Ali was very patient, kind and took things at my pace to believe in myself again. The small steps she advises helps enormously. Well worth the sessions. Highly recommended. More...
