About Supna
Supna Ali is a counsellor who blends somatic ways of working with talking therapies to help people move through difficult experiences. She holds BACP registration and brings 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Supna aims to make reaching out feel straightforward and doable for someone taking their first steps into therapy.
Supna focuses on trauma and abuse, grief and loss, stress and anxiety, and self‑esteem. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns and midlife questions.
Background and approach
Her practice includes work around attachment, codependency, abandonment and issues of belonging or isolation. Sessions are shaped around the person rather than a fixed formula. Supna combines somatic awareness with client‑centred listening and practical CBT tools when they help.
She uses Emotionally‑Focused and existential ideas to look at relationships, meaning and how past patterns affect present life. In the room she encourages people to notice how their body holds experience as well as the thoughts and feelings that come up. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what each person can manage.
Simple exercises and breathing or grounding techniques are used alongside talking to help settle distress. Supna works with adults who want clearer direction and relief from overwhelming feelings. She offers sessions in English and can work with people living outside the UK.
To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions to suit their schedule. Her approach aims to make therapy feel relevant and practical while keeping space for deeper personal change.
How somatic and talking therapies work online
Somatic work notices how the body holds stress and emotion, and brings gentle attention to breath, posture and sensation to help people feel less overwhelmed. It can be useful for trauma, anxiety and patterns that are felt as much as thought. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and creating a space where people can speak openly and be heard. This helps when someone needs to build self‑compassion, process grief or reframe difficult decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss what is most useful based on the person's goals, current difficulties and comfort with different techniques. That collaborative process means sessions can shift over time to match changing needs.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and guided somatic exercises. Phone sessions let someone connect if video isn't suitable. Live chat and text‑based messaging can be used for short check‑ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options can make regular therapy more accessible around work, family and travel commitments.
