Relationship Coaching & ICF Training for LGBTQ+ folk and our allies

Hello and welcome!

I am passionate about helping people and organisations build stronger, healthier, and more inclusive relationships, through coaching and training.

I train coaches to specialise in relationship coaching, equipping them with the skills and confidence to support others while earning 40+ ICF CCEs towards credentialing.

My approach is holistic and inclusive.

With 1:1 coaching clients, I focus on helping both monogamous and non-monogamous LGBTQ+ individuals and duos create boundaried, fulfilling relationships.

I also coach and train individuals and teams in public speaking, empowering you to share your message with clarity and confidence.

For organisations, I offer DEI-aware coaching and training, creating safer, more inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive.

Whether you’re here to grow as a coach, improve your public speaking, or strengthen inclusion in your business, you’re in the right place. Let’s create meaningful change together.

What is Coaching?

“Unlike therapy, consulting, or teaching, coaching does not diagnose, direct, or instruct. It walks beside. It listens not only for the words, but for what is yearning to emerge. The coach holds a space of presence – generous, unattached, and reverent – in which clarity and courage arise from within the client.” MCC coach and Director of Education, Iman Abrishamchi.

HOLISTIC LIFE COACHING: To say that Ali has single handedly changed the course of my life is probably an understatement! Her insightful coaching sessions are simply priceless, I went from being at my lowest to having, probably, the best time of my life and it was only thanks to her support and her way of allowing me to see what was right in front of my eyes but could not see without the help of her insights, I will be eternally grateful to Ali and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

RELATIONSHIP COACHING: I have found Ali’s coaching both uplifting and very practical – something which I found lacking in therapy – and sorely needed. She is very good at pulling me back to where I need to focus, and spotting patterns in language and expression that give clues to help me see things in a new and different light. She has some really great tools and practical methods to bring clarity to confusing emotional situations, making them feel less insurmountable. She is perceptive, insightful, empathetic -and funny! Without the humour I would find it significantly harder to make progress. Business & Relationship Coaching

COACH TRAINING AND MENTORING: What I treasure most about our mentor/student relationship was the sense of non-judgement and exploration. I eventually began to let down my wall of perfectionist tendencies to reveal some of my biggest weaknesses and fears in coaching others, and it was here that light speed like growth occurred. My sense of failure transformed into curiosity; ideas that we could toss like spaghetti, laugh together by what didn’t stick, and observe and celebrate what did hold to the surface of what was to become my own style of coaching. A student can only hope for this kind of learning experience. What I learned from Ali I will take with me into coaching and beyond; into relationships, my own teaching and mentoring opportunities, and new spaces yet to come. (Yes, you should hire her) Teaching, Mentoring, Supervision

RELATIONSHIP COACH TRAINING: After I decided to become a coach, I had been looking to specialize in relationship coaching. When this certification became available and I realized it was with Ali H. (one of my favorite coaches / mentor / trainer), I knew I had to do it. ICF Certified Relationship Coach Training

DEI COACH TRAINING: Ali brings a wealth of decades of experience in DEI work and applies it to coaching with depth and nuance, but also, somehow, accessibility and approachability for someone new to the conversations. As someone who has many years experience in DEI work, I still always learn something new in her sessions. She also brings a consistent curious mind to the work and is a voracious reader on the subject. Any student or mentee of Ali will leave with a nuanced understanding of DEI work and how to apply it to their own practice, as well as an amazing book list to continue independent learning!

PUBLIC SPEAKING TRAINING: Working with Ali has been a transformative experience that has greatly improved my public speaking skills. Her fluid approach allowed us to focus on what I felt needed the most attention, significantly reducing my anxiety around presenting. Ali’s guidance in preparing for Instagram LIVE sessions has boosted my confidence tremendously. She provided me with practical exercises and tools to speak more clearly and effectively. Ali’s wonderful, inspiring, and supportive presence has been invaluable, making the entire learning process enjoyable and empowering. Public Speaking Coaching
