This About Me

Iman Ali

Counsellor and Psychotherapist

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to explore my website. I'm Iman, a BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist, offering online counselling to individuals who are grappling with their mental health. (For more information, visit www.bacp.co.uk) As an integrative psychotherapist, I firmly believe in your capacity to attain inner peace, and I am dedicated to assisting you on this journey. With a background in Psychology spanning a decade, I hold degrees in both applied psychology and psychological studies. My path took a transformative turn towards psychotherapy when I pursued certification in Humanistic therapy. This shift led me away from clinical psychology, culminating in the completion of my MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Newcastle, UK. I am now available for both online sessions and face-to-face counselling, aiming to provide the support you need in a way that suits you best.

What to Expect in Your First Therapy Session

Some of the work I have done

I have worked with numerous charities and organisations, all of which provided me with the knowledge and skills I now use in my own practice, leaving me feeling competent in my skillset should you choose to contact me going further. I have worked with Childline and The Listening Ear, both organisations catering to young adult and teenage mental health issues. Here, I worked both online and face-to-face on childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, stress, and self-esteem.

I have also done some work with Fatima Memorial Hospital and currently am working with Well Minds Online, dedicated to providing available and affordable counselling via phone and video call. Here, individuals often came with issues around racism, trauma, sexuality, divorce, gendered expectations, parenting, OCD, and bereavement. I am also currently working with Actsfast, a charity that helps families impacted by child sexual abuse and indecent images, working on everything from relationship issues, sexual abuse and trauma to low self-worth, family conflict, and infidelity.

I also aim to raise awareness on mental health issues around developing countries. I am currently completing a paper on gender issues in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India and the correlation it has on the reluctance to seek therapeutic support. In conclusion, my extensive background collaborating with diverse organizations has equipped me with a comprehensive skillset that I am confident in, and I am ready to provide my expertise to support you further should you decide to get in touch.
