My name is Ali — I’m a multidisciplinary artist and Integrative Arts Psychotherapist. I work individually with pre-teens, teenagers, and adults who, for whatever reason—diagnosed or not—are struggling to make it through the day. Whether you are a rational thinker who's intellectualizing no longer works or an artist creatively blocked, I draw upon my experience as an artist and psychotherapist to help you nurture the ability to play, create, and discover the choice-making child within you; a child unburdened by the story of your experiences and one who is able to turn pain into beauty.

I am a British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) accredited psychotherapist, practicing psychodynamic psychotherapy, a psychoanalytically informed, comprehensive, and integrative approach. Rather than simply addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unconscious processes and early experiences that shape and control your life.

My focus will be on helping you understand the function they have served for you, where they come from, and how to bring about change I have experience of working with individuals who present with diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, with one or more of the many different personality disorder, and with individuals who experience psychotic states of mind.
Most people who seek counselling and psychotherapy do not come with a diagnosis; they come because they are struggling with what’s going on in their life and/or what’s going on in their mind, and they are looking for change.

You’re overwhelmed and have a busy brain, perhaps you even wonder about being ADHD?

I know living with Autism and ADHD is tiring.
Are you a diagnosed or self diagnosed neurodivergent individual always anxious, feeling low and only ever imagining what a different life can look like? Are you tired of repeating the same patterns in life and ready for change? Continuously feeling misunderstood by others and sometimes even yourself? Do you often wonder who you are and what you really want in life?
Our life experiences can make us feel like there is always something to worry about, we often worry about a yesterday we will never get back and a tomorrow that is not promised. We can work together to find happiness in the present.

I work with a wide range of concerns, including race, ADHD, identity, trauma, anxiety, depression, isolation, and the difficult dynamics that can form within families and relationships.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by self-doubt or low self-esteem? Do you find it hard to express your true thoughts and feelings? Are you facing challenges in building and maintaining healthy relationships? If you often feel disconnected from others and struggle to form meaningful connections, you're not alone. These struggles may stem from past experiences, emotional patterns, or interpersonal skills. However, therapy is very much an individual process and working towards empowering self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence is key.

ADHD Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
