IIkay Alici has been a brilliant therapist for me over the last few months. I would recommend her to anyone. She has given me feedback on my behaviours and helped me understand myself in a way I couldn't do before. I have gained confidence in myself and my ability and have managed to talk about issues I have experienced when I never thought it would be possible.
She is great with finding worksheets that fit the conversations and she works together with you to unpick emotions and feelings and holds your hand through the process.
