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.
