Meet Alka Maher
Hi, I am Alka Maher, a BACP accredited Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor.
I work with mental health and feel passionately about mental and physical wellbeing. My clinical experience spans over sixteen years covering individual therapy with adults and children as well as extensive work involving supervising Counsellors and Psychotherapists.
My digital practice welcomes clients from all over the world via online consultation and I thrive on helping people from different continents, countries and cultures.
I worked for the NHS for over 10 years and now work with schools in the Middle East. I have a BA in Psychology, an MA in Integrative Counselling, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Supervision. I am currently studying for my MSC in Educational Psychology. I use my knowledge and skills to assess, diagnose and treat conditions of varying severity – from diagnosable clinical disorders to increased mindfulness in everyday life.
Person Centered
Person-centered therapy or client-based therapy, takes a non-authoritative approach allowing clients to lead in their therapy process and come up with their own solutions.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on building a client’s internal resources so they can deal with problems as they arise without the support of a therapist.
CBT
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a type of talking therapy that focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect your feelings and actions.
How I can help you
I can help you grow in self-care, mindful compassion and the integration of emotional, rational and physical self.
I believe we all need support in our lives at some point, whether it is due to loss, relationship issues, or mental health challenges among many other reasons.
Having a safe space to explore your thoughts can have a huge positive impact on our lives. If you are interested in finding out more please get in touch and let’s see how I can support you in your journey.
I am so happy that I found Alka to help me during a very difficult time in my life. Therapy has given me insight and the tools that I never knew I needed to navigate through life. I am excited about the future again. S. Adams
