As an arts counsellor, Ali works with clients 1:1 in her sustainable eco lodge. She works with an integrative and humanistic model of arts counselling, supporting clients and helping them to access their inner world safely.
She employs sand tray and artistic techniques that help the client to explore themselves, their relationships and what brings meaning and value to their life.
Artistic work through story, painting, textiles, clay and drawing works at the level of the soul and is an expression of the client’s world.
The overall intention is to create a safe space for the therapeutic relationship to grow and develop. As a transpersonal arts counsellor, Ali’s knowledge and respect for ancient wisdom enables her clients to embody a creative therapeutic approach, and reflect on a wider context.
As a Shamanic Practitioner of Andean Energy Medicine Ali works with the lineage from the Q’ero nation in the High Andes. She has studied with The Four Winds Society and Alberto Villoldo, Elizabeth Jenkins, Joan Parisi Wilcox, Juan and Ivan Nuñez Del Prado and is currently working with Pampamesayoq and Earthkeeper Don Agustin Machacca Flores to bring these beautiful, sacred teachings to the West.

Testimonials
Ali was recommended by another therapist. We had initially agreed 3 sessions but I quickly realised that I needed Ali to help me through a particularly tricky time in my life and I continued to see Ali for another 6 months.
I instantly felt at ease with Ali. She is kind, compassionate and professional and I felt so much lighter after every healing. Ali, challenged, guided, and supported me to make some brave decisions that I am not sure I would have done without her.
I always looked forward to our sessions and I will miss our time together but I know the door will be open for me to come back.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ali, she has helped me to change my life for the better.

These beautiful techniques honoured & taught by Ali may on the surface appear simple…..they’re actually magical. I’ve observed so many levels within & deepened into the never ending connection within the natural living cosmos. As you might expect its benefits are not measurable, though its teachings are tools for life. They feel so familiar….a remembering. It’s been a wonderful circle to be held in so beautifully. I’m so grateful
