£250Dr Ali is very thorough on her advice and explained to me in a way to feel very sure of next steps. Dr Ali was compassionate and very clear as an expert in this field. I felt in good hands and recommend her to others who are looking at support for neurodivergent children. Thank you, Dr Ali.
I recently had an ADHD assessment with Dr Ali and couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very first appointment, she was incredibly kind, personable, and easy to talk to. Unlike some practitioners who can feel quite clinical or robotic, she took a genuinely person-centred approach and made me feel heard, understood, and valued as an individual. Dr Ali created a comfortable and supportive environment where I felt able to speak openly about my experiences without judgment. The assessment itself was thorough and professional, but what stood out most was the warmth, empathy, and genuine interest she showed throughout the process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and ensure I felt involved every step of the way. This experience has been extremely helpful in helping me better understand myself. I would highly recommend Dr Ali. Her combination of expertise, compassion, and kindness made the experience supportive and empowering.
I find supervision with Dr Ali extremely supportive and insightful. The discussions feel collaborative are clinically informed, and help me develop a deeper understanding of the client's presentations and possible interventions that could help.
Really professional, Dr Ali really knows how to put you at ease, thank you for everything.

I spoke with Dr Ali about my son - exploring options and possible diagnosis. The whole experience was incredibly helpful, clear and reassuring. Dr Ali brings a warmth that puts you at ease, while helping you understand complex issues in a really relaxed and non judgemental way. She was really aware of how we as parents were feeling throughout the process too. My husband and I felt really supported and we will absolutely be working with her again.
