About Supna
Supna Ali is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of experience. She supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She also offers coaching around career and workplace concerns and helps with stress and anxiety.
Supna uses straightforward, practical work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centred and emotionally focused ideas. Sessions focus on clear goals, short-term strategies, and gradual changes that fit into everyday life.
In practice she listens first, then helps clients try different ways of thinking and acting. That can mean identifying stuck patterns, testing small behavioural changes, or learning ways to manage strong feelings. She also addresses issues such as attachment concerns, codependency, abandonment, and intimacy-related difficulties.
Supna has experience supporting people through hospice and end-of-life conversations, midlife challenges, and the stresses of being a young adult in transition. Cultural background and women’s issues are part of her work when relevant.
Sessions are conducted in English and Supna accepts international clients. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session, which helps set clear aims for the work ahead.
How CBT and client-centred methods work online
Supna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT sessions often involve setting specific goals, practising small behavioural experiments, and reviewing what worked between meetings. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them and decide next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Supna will discuss needs, goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted based on what the client finds helpful.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in if that suits a lunch break. It also permits continuing work with a therapist when someone is living in a different country, which is helpful as Supna accepts international clients.
