“My work is grounded in a structured, ethical, and compassionate approach supporting people through complex internal experiences at a pace that feels right for them”

Hello, I’m Ali Salvador, founder of Inner Mind Navigator, an integrative therapeutic practice supporting individuals who want to gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and create lasting change.

I work with people navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, confidence challenges, and fear of flying. My approach combines Strategic Psychotherapy & Clinical Hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT), cognitive-behavioural approaches, NLP strategies, and mind-body regulation techniques to support emotional regulation and practical progress that brings together insight and practical tools supporting emotional wellbeing, clarity, and growth moving forward.

A Special Interest: Therapy for Fear of Flying

I specialise in supporting individuals experiencing fear of flying and aviation-related anxiety.

Drawing on my background as a pilot alongside my clinical training in Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical hypnotherapy, I provide structured, psychologically informed support to help regulate fear responses and build confidence in air travel.

This work integrates:

• Cognitive and behavioural anxiety strategies

• Clinical hypnotherapy for emotional regulation

• Practical exposure preparation

• Nervous system regulation techniques

Support is tailored, ethical, and collaborative- designed to help you feel more in control of both your internal responses and your travel experience.

My Therapeutic Approach

Therapy is not about fixing what is “wrong”.

Therapy is about understanding your patterns, strengthening your emotional regulation, and developing skills that allow you to respond to life with greater clarity and confidence.

My work is:

• Integrative and evidence-informed

• Structured and goal-oriented

• Client-centred and collaborative

• Focused on measurable, sustainable progress

Rather than working from a single modality, I adapt therapy to the individual. Sessions may draw from:

• Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnosis

• Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT)

• NLP Strategic Coaching framework

• Mind-body and breathing regulation

By working across cognition, emotion, physiology, and behaviour, therapy becomes practical and results-focused, supporting change that extends beyond the therapy room.

The Role of Clinical Hypnotherapy

Clinical hypnotherapy, when used within appropriate professional training and ethical guidelines, can be a powerful adjunct to psychotherapy. It supports a calm, focused state of awareness that enhances emotional regulation and helps consolidate therapeutic insight. You remain aware and in control throughout the process.

Hypnotherapy is introduced only where appropriate and always with full informed consent. It is integrated thoughtfully to reinforce collaborative therapeutic work.

A Structured and Purposeful Process

Therapy at Inner Mind Navigator is typically delivered within a focused framework of approximately 4-6 sessions, depending on your goals.

The process includes:

Initial Consultation

A confidential discussion to clarify what brings you to therapy and determine whether working together feels aligned.

Assessment & Pattern Mapping

Exploring emotional responses, thought patterns, behavioural habits, and physiological reactions contributing to distress, or limitation.

Targeted Integrative Work

Structured sessions focused on developing emotional regulation skills, reframing unhelpful patterns, strengthening resilience, and implementing practical strategies toward meaningful change.

Collaborative Review

Progress is reviewed regularly to ensure therapy remains aligned with your goals. Additional sessions are discussed transparently and guided by your preferences.

The aim is focused, ethical, and outcome-oriented therapy- without unnecessary prolonging of treatment.

A Professional, Safe, and Respectful Space

Finding the right therapist is deeply personal. Research consistently shows that a strong therapeutic alliance- built on trust, collaboration, and psychological safety- is one of the strongest predictor of positive outcomes.

Clients often describe my approach as:

• Warm and grounded

• Calm and structured

• Practical and Solution-focused

• Respectful, collaborative and empowering

You do not need to present yourself in a particular way. Therapy begins wherever you are.

Professional Background

My professional training spans both the United Kingdom and Australia. I completed Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (Hypo-CBT) training in the UK, and majority of my qualifications in Clinical hypnosis & Strategic Psychotherapy, NLP Master Practice and Strategic Coaching in Australia.

I work primarily online with clients internationally, offering secure, confidential sessions. In-person appointments are available in the UK and periodically in Australia.

Alongside formal training, I bring lived experience of life’s pressures, uncertainty, and change. This allows me to meet clients not only with clinical expertise- but with realism, grounded understanding and empathy.

Online and In-Person Therapy

Inner Mind Navigator provides:

• Online Strategic psychotherapy and hypnotherapy (UK, Australia, international)

• Therapy for stress related challenges

• Integrative fear of flying therapy

• Integrative goal-focused sessions

Online therapy offers flexibility while maintaining clinical depth and confidentiality- allowing you to access support from the privacy of your own space.

Taking the First Step

Seeking therapy requires courage. Reaching out- even while uncertain is often the beginning of meaningful change.

You can begin in one of two ways:

Complimentary 30-Minute Clarity Call

A confidential conversation to explore your needs and determine whether my approach feels like the right fit.

60-Minute Initial Therapy Session

A full structured session to begin therapeutic work. Session details and fees are discussed in advance to ensure clarity and informed choice.

You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. A willingness to explore is enough.

I would be honoured to support you in developing greater resilience, confidence, and emotional steadiness- at your pace, in a way that feels right for you.

Every step toward understanding yourself is a step

toward a more empowered future.”
