Trauma Support Providers

Professional Biography

Ali has a Bachelor of Health Science (Psychology) from the University of Sydney and Master of Counselling from the University of Queensland, and is an Accredited Supervisor under the Rise Up Model. She is a registered counsellor, with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) specialising in supporting clients of all ages with grief, loss, and bereavement.

Ali has over a decade of experience working in oncology, palliative care, perinatal support, family separation, with children and young people, and with those impacted by sudden and traumatic losses. Ali provides a specialised grief and loss lens to life’s challenges, whether they are death-related such as palliative care, pet loss, perinatal loss or sudden and traumatic death, or non-death-related losses such as the end of a relationship, chronic health challenges or fertility loss (to name a few.)

Ali uses a range of modalities to support clients, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy and Neuropsychotherapy, underpinned by client-centred, strengths-based, trauma-informed principles.
Ali has a particular passion for supporting our youngest grievers (5+) but hopes to create a space for clients of all ages to feel seen, heard, and valued in their experiences.
