About me
Hello, my name is Ali & for over 12 years I have successfully helped clients in my full time practice. My approach to therapy is client centred and I understand that every client and their needs are unique. I aim to educate and empower clients to enable them to make positive choices and changes in their lives. This 'alliance' between client and therapist, at all stages of any treatment programme, ensures that methods used and the goals agreed upon will always be fully discussed.
This approach, along with testing your desire factor for change, has been found to greatly enhance the effectiveness of my approach to hypnotherapy and coaching. This enables my clients to change their behaviours on a long term basis.
Hypnotherapy can help you whether you are looking to lose weight, stop smoking, conquer a fear, improve confidence and self-esteem, manage your stress and anxiety levels, sports enhancement, soothe IBS or reduce exam nerves. Just give me a call or email me, to arrange a no obligation, free initial telephone consultation.

The General Hypnotherapy Register
Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC).
Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level.
All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.
Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.
Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
Menopause
Fees
I offer a free initial telephone consultation and work on a 2 session basis, each session being approximately 1 week apart. There are a number of reasons for this; you can't have an addiction (i.e. food or smoking), or a problem or fear for years and expect after one session it will be cured. Also it takes 21 days to break a habit. With my eclectic approach and the support of a 2 session programme it is a highly effective approach. I suggest 2-6 sessions depending on your issues, the number of sessions will be discussed at your free initial consultation and before your first session.
A hypnosis download is also part of the programme.
Each session is charged at £75 in person or £65 via Zoom
