Ali's Counselling Services has been offering compassionate support to individuals and relationships through private practice in Mardi on the Central Coast since 2011. With extensive experience across a diverse range of counselling areas, I regularly assist clients with a variety of concerns, including:

ADHD in Adults: Providing support with diagnoses, management, and coping strategies for adults living with ADHD.

Women’s Health: Offering support to women of all ages navigating various issues, including traumatic birth experiences, postpartum depression, perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopausal challenges. I also guide women through significant life transitions, such as empty nesting, retirement, aging, and care needs.

Relationship Issues: Addressing a wide range of relationship concerns, including infidelity, sexual problems, communication difficulties, parenting challenges, separation and divorce, successful co-parenting, extended family dynamics, and much more.

Domestic Violence Support: Assisting individuals who are recognizing the signs of domestic violence (DV) relationships, supporting those in the process of leaving such relationships, or helping those affected by historical DV experiences.

Additionally, I regularly provide support in other areas, such as:

Depression and anxiety
Suicidal thoughts
Anger management
Grief and loss
Childhood trauma
Single parenting
Addictive behaviors
Workplace bullying
Chronic pain management
Sexual abuse
And many other life challenges.

Before establishing my private practice, I gained valuable experience working in the aged care sector as a community care nurse. I have also worked in youth services, providing counselling to adolescents and supporting vulnerable populations. In addition to running my practice, I work within aged care facilities, assisting residents and their families with the transition into care.

Ali's Counselling Services also offers counselling through Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) in partnership with Eudoxia and Converge International

Ali's Counselling Services offers you a confidential, secure and supportive environment, where you can work through your problems, and have time to reflect upon your circumstances, without judgment. Family members and friends are not always able to provide an objective point of view which counselling can provide.

At Ali's Counselling Services we provide you the time, space & encouragement to explore and understand the issues you bring. While counselling is not magic or an instant cure, it can help you make effective decisions which will lead to positive changes for now & in the future. There is no problem too big or too small to bring to counselling.
