Okay, sounds like your club-head path is not too bad, so if i were you I'd get a bucket of balls at the driving range and try a slightly stronger grip (i.e turn both hands a fraction to the right on the grip). Try not to grip the club too hard and swing along your usual path.

Start off with your normal grip and note the flight, then turn your hands just a fraction to the right, take your grip and then hit a few balls, again note the ball flight. And continue until you are satisfied with the ball flight. Let us know how you get on.

Do not aim left to account for the ball flight, it will only encourage an out-to-in swing and a worse slice.
