From £120.00 (50 minute session)
Some people come to therapy because they feel they have lost the sense of who they are, by bending themselves into who they think their partner, boss or parents need. Others come feeling unable to handle a traumatic event, or cope with circumstances that have slowly built over years. It might be a difficult period at work, unmanageable levels of stress or anxiety, a redundancy or retirement that is unfulfilling, a troubling relationship - whatever it is, figuring a way through and reconnecting with joy is achievable.
Ailis has spent 15 years working with combinations of applied psychology, psychotherapy and executive coaching to lead you to a stronger more positive mindset. She joins us from Harley Street at The Practice in Weybridge on Mondays and The Practice in Guildford on Thursdays.
Using with a combination of assessment, psycho-education, psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, you can tackle your life more clearly, handling your issues with agency and acceptance. It is never too late to reform or too early to intervene in your life choices.
Ailis completed a two-year fellowship at the Institute of Coaching, McLean Hospital, Harvard, an MSc in Psychology at the University of Surrey and an FdSc in Counselling at the University of Greenwich and is a Qualified Mediator. Ailis concluded her psychotherapy training at The Priory Hospital. Trained across several modalities (CBT, Transactional Analysis, Humanistic counselling, Gestalt, Psychodynamic Therapy) she will assess which approach will work best for the combination of issues and environments you bring.
Whatever difficulties brought you to this point, Ailis creates a warm, understanding and calm place for you to share them and leave some of them behind. In your first session you will meet and discuss what you are looking for maybe short-term focused solution led therapy or open-ended therapy for more complex cases. What's most important is to get a sense of whether Ailis can help, whether it would be useful to you to work together.
She is registered for private insurance work with WPA Health Insurance, Healix and General & Medical. Ailis is a member of the British Psychological Society, The British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, The Civil Mediation Council and the Association for Coaching.

Client C
Ailis was instrumental in helping me navigate through some very big life changes and helped me find balance between being a career woman, a mother, a wife and being true to myself. We tackled my long term anxiety issues and she gave me the tools to manage anxiety going forward. I look forward to working with Ailis on a continual basis.

We approached Ailis following recommendation. Ailis didn’t disappoint, she worked well with our employee to allow them the freedom and confidentiality to discuss their concerns and helped them rebuild their confidence and set boundaries with the individual. Would fully endorse Ailis.
HR Director of an International Healthcare Organisation 2023
Ailis worked with us both on a separate basis for several weeks, analysing our personalities and our backgrounds, to help us then understand each other in a far better way.
The result, after some positive reinforcement and some practice, is a much more effective sibling team who don’t clash and work together in a far more harmonious and constructive way. So thank you Ailis!
Director, Automotive Industry, 2024
When I met Ailis she instantly created a calming and safe place to speak freely with reassuring words as we progressed. She allowed me to ask questions of myself and to reassure me that all I was expressing and feeling both physically and mentally was normal, and would pass in time. She gave me myself back so that I could be a support to my family member which was the most important thing of all. I would thoroughly recommend Ailis as a compassionate person with much experience. I am very grateful to her.

Ailis is very professional and very caring. She helped me through a difficult period of anxiety, culminating in panic attacks, inability to leave the house and OCD. I have been back to myself since and I have no hesitation in recommending Ailis.
