Dr Samara Ali

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist currently working in the NHS in a Community Mental Health Team for Adults. I love my job and I believe it is a privilege to be able to step into someone’s life and become, even for a short amount of time, part of their life story, their narrative. My aim is to ensure you feel heard, supported, and ultimately empowered. In the past, I have helped people to process past traumatic experiences that were having a major impact on their lives and to understand patterns of relating to self and others which might have left them feeling stuck, anxious, sad, guilty, and/or ashamed. I use different models within my practice including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (focused on how thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect feelings and actions), Narrative Exposure Therapy (a short-term trauma-focused intervention), and Cognitive Analytic Therapy (focused on relationship patterns and ways in which people relate to themselves and others). I will work hard to create a safe space where together we will attempt to make sense of your difficulties, and explore alternative more helpful and compassionate strategies. I will be alongside you throughout, and we will take it one step at the time to ensure you feel supported and contained at all times. Call or email Samara Ali now for a free 15 minute consultation.
