It's Complicated
Listed therapist.
Maybe you're here because…
For a while now, you may have felt that
- Anxiety and overthinking have worn you out.
- You expect a lot of yourself, and it never feels like enough.
- Starting things, making decisions or staying focused has become hard.
- ADHD symptoms and procrastination have been getting in the way of your work and career.
- The same patterns keep coming back in your relationships, and you don't know how to change them.
- Or you simply know you don't want things to go on the way they are.
You don't need to know exactly what's wrong before you start. We can begin from where you are now.
What you can book
3 services, all online. Problem areas are described inside each one. They are not separate programmes you sign up to.
Guidance and practical training for parents, without the child present.
Sessions for younger clients, arranged with a parent or carer.
Before you book
Ala mostly listens. You will be asked what brought you and what you would want to change, but nothing is required of you that you are not ready to say. By the end you should know whether this feels like a fit.
Whichever works. Sessions move between English and Persian as they need to, including within a single session. You don't have to decide in advance, as there will be flexibility within each session.
You will be told so plainly, and pointed somewhere more suitable. The free introductory call exists partly so that conversation can happen before you have paid for anything.
You pay when you book, and the appointment is confirmed only once the payment has succeeded. Sessions can be paid for one at a time, as a 4-session package, or as your fixed weekly session, paid monthly.
