Aly is a highly regarded specialist Counsellor and Psychotherapist working in Sydney.  Her professional and personal family experiences gave her a depth of knowledge in the areas of substance abuse, life stress and transitions, anxiety, grief and post traumatic stress disorders.  This enables her to both academically and personally come together with her clients in a profoundly powerful way. This is her specialty.

​

    Aly continually updates her academic achievements in order to stay in front of both neurological and therapeutic advancements always with the goal of providing the best for her clients.  She understands what it takes to experience mental health issues or crisis and still survive and recover and this is the gift she offers - walking with you but not leading, empowering you while holding you safe when you are feeling powerless to develop your personal and professional recovery.

​

    Aly's passion has always been working with those who seek her out, with compassion, understanding and a dedication that drives her to find the best for her clients.
