Meet Ali

Clinical Hypnotherapist, Strategic Psychotherapist and Founder of Inner Mind Navigator

Hello, I’m Ali, founder of Inner Mind Navigator.

I’m based in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, where I provide integrative therapeutic support both in person and online.

I believe therapy works best when you feel respected, understood and involved in the process. My role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to help you better understand your experiences, recognise the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical ways to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

A Personal, Collaborative Approach

I see therapy as a collaborative process rather than something that is done to you.

Your experiences, goals, preferences and values remain central throughout our work together.

My approach is compassionate, practical and tailored to your individual needs. Together, we may explore patterns of thought, emotion and behaviour, while building on the strengths and resources you already have.

You are always welcome to ask questions, give feedback and be curious about the process.

Why I Work Integratively

No single therapeutic model suits everyone.

An integrative approach allows me to draw from different evidence-informed psychological and therapeutic methods, depending on your goals, circumstances and what we discover together through the therapeutic process.

This means therapy can be adapted around you rather than expecting you to fit into a fixed formula.

I integrate approaches including:

  • Clinical Hypnotherapy

  • Strategic Psychotherapy

  • Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT)

  • Ericksonian approaches

  • evidence-informed cognitive and behavioural techniques

A Different Perspective

Alongside my therapeutic work, I am also a pilot.

That background gives me an additional understanding of aviation, risk perception and the experience of flying, and informs my specialist work with people experiencing aviation-related anxiety.
