Lisa Ali

Lisa Ali is an empathic and approachable counsellor who creates a warm, non-judgmental space where people can feel seen, heard, and accepted. She specialises in Person Centred therapy and adapts each session to meet the unique needs of the individual, working at the client’s pace to build a trusting therapeutic relationship.

She holds a BA Honours degree in Humanistic Counselling, a university-level qualification, and has six years of counselling experience. Her professional training also includes BTEC Health & Social Care Level 3 and Level 2 diplomas and a range of continued professional development (CPD) activities, including three years of personal therapy, an introduction to online and telephone counselling course awarded by Counselling Tutor, the A Matter of Life and Death workshop by Irvin Yalom on bereavement, and Caroline Springs’ training on working with shame.

Lisa works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, panic attacks, depression, trauma and PTSD, addictions, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship and communication difficulties, emotional abuse and physical abuse, victims of sexual assault, anger, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also supports neurodivergent clients such as those with Autism Spectrum Condition and ADHD, focusing on emotional regulation, sensory and social overwhelm, masking and identity, self-advocacy, and navigating neurotypical environments.

Her approach emphasises collaboration and practical support: helping clients gain clarity, understand and change unhelpful patterns, build confidence and resilience, develop emotional regulation tools, and reconnect with their authentic selves. Based in the United Kingdom, Lisa also offers support for LGBT clients, people exploring gender and identity issues, and those coping with compassion fatigue or career-related concerns.

She invites anyone ready for support to get in touch and message when they feel prepared to begin therapy.
