Alia Somani CBT/Integrative Therapist Manchester – A Personalised Approach to Mental Health

Alia Somani CBT/Integrative Therapist Manchester offers clients a compassionate, flexible, and evidence-based approach to therapy. With over 15 years of clinical experience and a Master of Science (MSc) in Counselling and Psychology, I have helped individuals from all walks of life overcome emotional struggles and mental health challenges.

I am registered and accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Throughout my career, I have studied a wide range of psychotherapeutic modalities. While I have a deep-rooted passion for CBT, my work is always shaped by the unique needs of each client.

Because every client is different, we discuss and agree on the approach together. This ensures the therapy feels collaborative and tailored.

CBT and Integrative Therapy That Adapts to You

I offer an integrative therapeutic experience that blends techniques from CBT and other approaches. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or self-esteem, I provide strategies that support real, lasting change.

Since no one approach works for everyone, I draw from a variety of methods. This includes mindfulness, motivational interviewing, compassion-focused therapy, and more.

Alia Somani CBT/Integrative Therapist Manchester – Committed to Diversity and Community

My therapeutic journey has led me to work in diverse environments, including the NHS, GP practices, hospitals, community centres, and private health providers. In each setting, I have adapted my approach to meet the needs of the people I serve.

Additionally, I have supported clients through multi-agency risk assessment conferences (MARAC), addressing complex issues like domestic abuse, trauma, and cultural sensitivity. I value diversity deeply and work with individuals from all races, backgrounds, and ages.

Because everyone deserves access to mental health support, I focus on creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive space.

My qualifications include an MSc in Counselling and Psychology, a Diploma in CBT, and certificates in mindfulness, motivational interviewing, compassion-focused CBT, and more. I continue to enhance my skills with advanced training in solution-focused therapy, ACT, DBT, and trauma-informed care.

This continuous learning allows me to grow, both personally and professionally.
