I’m Aly, a Counsellor in Ruislip registered with the BACP, offering counselling tailored to your needs. You may be navigating anxiety, low self confidence, depression, overwhelm, loneliness or a new phase of life. We will work collaboratively to help you find more clarity, acceptance and understanding of yourself.

I offer a confidential space where you can explore whatever feels difficult, at your own pace. Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, particularly if you’re used to managing things alone. You don’t need to know exactly what you want to say or where to begin. I offer a warm, accepting space where you can simply start from wherever you are. You’re welcome to arrange an initial consultation to see whether working together feels right for you.

My work is grounded in a warm, person-centred, and pluralistic framework, meaning we begin by discussing what you would like to gain from therapy. Research shows positive therapeutic outcomes for clients by working in this collaborative way. Alongside traditional talking therapy, I am able to draw on therapeutic creative tools and mindfulness where these feel helpful.

I have significant provided therapy for leading organisations in London, working with issues such as:

  • Anxiety, overthinking, or feeling overwhelmed
  • Trauma, chronic stress, or burnout
  • Childhood Trauma
  • Low mood, depression, or feelings of loneliness
  • Sexual identity
  • Neurodiversity
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Life transitions
  • Communication issues
  • Grief and loss
  • Establishing boundaries
  • Insurance: Recognised provider for Vitality Health Insurance

Choosing a counsellor is an important decision. If you would like to explore working together, please get in touch today to arrange an introductory call.
