About Aliyah

Background and approach

In sessions she tailors the conversation to each person. She listens for patterns related to attachment, family history and core beliefs, and helps clients spot small changes that can have a big impact in daily life. Practical tools and mindfulness skills are offered alongside deeper exploration of emotions when helpful.

Aliyah often draws on emotionally focused and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect mood and coping. She also uses client-centred practice to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and goals. Therapy with her can address concerns such as parenting strain, communication problems, codependency and body image.

She also supports people facing career changes, burnout or compassion fatigue. Work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.

Sessions are offered in a range of online formats to suit different needs and routines.

How Aliyah’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and closeness. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try different ways of relating to partners, children or friends. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional experience beneath problems in relationships. In remote sessions this can mean tracking feelings step by step and practising new responses in between meetings to see what changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelming stress and improve daily coping; these exercises translate easily to phone or text check-ins.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, worries and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus more on emotions, attachment patterns or practical tools, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and text messaging allows brief reflections between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, parenting and travel while keeping the pace that suits each person.
