Alaa Safi

I’m an integrative counsellor trained in Gestalt, TA, and Person Centred. This means that I tailor my approach to what you need. I ensure from the moment you walk in that you feel comfortable and that we assess if I’m the right counsellor for you. Counselling is not my job but a way of being for me.

I currently work online, providing affordable and accessible counselling sessions wherever you are in the world.

Counselling helps you explore what is going on for you and allows for more space in your life to learn about yourself and your patterns which can be a painful yet rewarding process. I will be your companion in this journey to help explore this journey with you offering you empathic understanding and allowing both of us to be curious without any judgment or quick fixes. In order for us to learn more about you and who you are, I need your commitment and investment to the process.

We will be looking together at some behaviour patterns that may have had a negative impact on your life. With awareness of those behaviours, you will have a choice of making the change you need in your life.

Issues that I can work with include:

Trauma

Anger management

Anxiety

Bereavement

Depression

Feeling sad

Loneliness

Low self-confidence

Low self-esteem

Relationship problems

Separation and divorce

Sexual abuse

Social anxiety

Stress

Work-related stress

Identity issues

Intercultural therapy

My first session is an initial session to discuss what you need from therapy and whether I'm the right therapist for you. We go through your details and how we can work together. It is your chance to decide if what I offer is suitable for your needs.
