About

Hi, I’m Aly.

I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel truly heard, accepted and understood. I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever may be troubling you, at your own pace.

My counselling work is grounded in a pluralistic framework, meaning sessions are adjusted to a person's individual needs. My main aim is to build a genuine, trusting relationship with my clients, working towards feeling increasingly able to be honest and open within counselling sessions. I see positive change happen for people, when they feel a real sense of safety, acceptance and authenticity within the counselling relationship.
