I'm Ali, and I've spent decades helping people through counselling, EMDR and hypnotherapy. Most people find me through a recommendation, and because we turn out to be a good fit. I'm warm, I'm human, and yes, a bit bubbly, but always focused on you and what you need.

What brings people to me

You don't need a diagnosis or the right words before you get in touch. Most people arrive knowing only that something isn't right.

Ali was recommended to me by a friend when I required urgent help for my daughter. Following an initial conversation, during which Ali explained her process and gathered some information, we arranged regular sessions. Ali said that we could review as we went and I never felt pressured into booking more than I needed.

I turned to Ali on a word of mouth recommendation when my daughter seemed in absolute crisis. In a few short weeks of counselling, we came out the other side and my daughter is back to her old self. Maybe even new and improved, with the tools to manage whatever comes next.

I chose AKA Therapeutix because it was local to me and I wanted a face to face experience. I felt very comfortable with Ali, free to talk and express myself. Ali creates a safe and comfortable space in which to explore what you want to work through.

I couldn't recommend therapy with Ali more. She is kind, patient and has been more helpful than any other therapist I have spoken to. The hypnotherapy has been life changing, at 1st I was skeptical but after having a few sessions I can feel the difference in myself. I have been able to do things i wasn't sure I would be able to like going shopping (I have agoraphobia) i have also been able to be more honest to Ali than anyone else without fear of judgement.

Ali is an amazing supervisor, and I always feel at ease when working with her. She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, while also being warm, approachable, and supportive. I worked with Ali throughout my training and have continued to do so now that I am a qualified counsellor. I would highly recommend Ali to other counsellors, as she has helped me grow in confidence and develop my private practice. Ali is flexible, offering both online and in-person supervision to suit my needs. Her lovely home provides a peaceful setting, and her pets are always a comforting addition to our sessions.
