Choosing a therapist is a big deal
You need to know that your thoughts, worries, and dreams for the future are in good hands. So let me give you a flavour of what it’s like to work with me.
Hi, I'm Ali
I'm in my 50s, which means I've lived through a good few ups and downs.
​
From the joys of love, marriage, parenthood, sisterhood, professional success, deep friendships to the struggles of grief, loss, betrayal, relationship breakdowns, and that existential confusion of not being sure you’re on the right path.
​
The turning point came in my 30s. Something had to change, and Solution Focused Hypnotherapy created the shift. It helped me understand how my mind functioned - and how to work with it instead of battling it.
​
It changed the direction of my life.
​
I built a business, moved across the country, shaved my hair off at my wedding reception (a story for another time), and realised that helping people become happy humans was what I was meant to do.
​
Being a "happy human" doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you know yourself - your strengths, shadows, brilliant bits and wobbly bits - and you've made peace with it all. Dare I say… you even like yourself.
Why I became a therapist
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy made me fascinated by how the mind works. Why do we get stuck in patterns if they don't serve us? Can we really change thoughts and beliefs that feel permanent?
​
I'd experienced how powerful SFHT could be. But more than that, I loved the approach - forward-focused, practical, and surprisingly enjoyable.
​
I've helped hundreds of people move past trauma, break free from anxiety, rebuild their confidence, discover their strengths, and create a life they love living.
​
This work never gets old because everyone’s different, and watching someone discover their brilliance is always magical.
​
Here's what working together looks like
There are so many paths to becoming a happy human. Our job is to find yours.
We start with your vision - before we talk about problems, we talk about possibilities. What would life look like if this issue was resolved? We get specific, detailed, and excited about your future.
We work as a team - SFHT is collaborative. You're the expert on your own life, I'm here with tools to help you access your wisdom and resources.
55 minutes of focused work - we'll talk, we'll laugh (probably), I'll gently challenge you when needed, and we'll end each session with hypnosis to embed the changes at a deeper level.
Good kind of homework - between sessions, you'll have practical tools and exercises. These are designed to fit into real life and strengthen the patterns we're building.
We track progress together - each session, we'll celebrate what's working and adjust what isn't. You'll be amazed how quickly things can shift when your subconscious mind is on your side.
​
My approach to therapy
I believe you already have everything you need - we just need to help you access it.
​
I won't make you relive trauma - we can change your future without having to dissect the past.
​
I'll challenge your patterns - sometimes we need someone to gently call us on our stories.
​
I keep it human - no therapy-speak, just two humans talking and figuring things out together.
​
I focus on what works - your time is precious, so if something isn't helping, we change course.
