About Me
My name is Ali and I am a Registered Counsellor and Accredited Supervisor who specialises in the area of Grief, Loss, and Bereavement.
Throughout my 10 years+ of clinical work, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and teams across Queensland in caring for those experiencing loss.
As someone who has worked in oncology, palliative care, perinatal support, family separation, with children and young people, and with those impacted by traumatic and sudden loss, I understand the importance of empathy, compassion, and sensitivity when dealing with difficult situations.
My experience extends beyond working with individual clients to leading clinical teams, innovating health programs, and developing targeted therapeutic interventions for individuals and groups. I am a proactive leader and clinical supervisor, emphasising best practices and team wellbeing.
​
I have a particular interest in supporting young people navigate grief and loss, however, I hope to create a space for people of all ages to feel seen, heard, and valued in their experience.

Welcome to Grief Guide, I'm so glad you're here.
