Roda Ali , BACP

Roda Ali is an integrative therapist with BACP membership and 11 years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She has worked with individuals facing trauma, including refugee and people-trafficking related trauma, as well as PTSD, panic attacks, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, stress, anger management, bereavement, and transitions in life circumstances. Her practice also addresses self-esteem, self-development, and the complex effects of relationship and family difficulties.

Roda views moments of feeling stuck, isolated, or overwhelmed as opportunities for change and growth. She encourages clients to take the first steps toward finding their voice and building resilience. Through a collaborative, person-focused approach she helps clients identify psychological and behavioral patterns that contribute to distress and supports them in developing healthier ways of coping and relating.

Her work aims to restore balance by strengthening inner resources and encouraging empowering choices that lead to lasting change. Roda offers both short- and long-term counseling to help people navigate grief, life transitions, and ongoing challenges, with the goal of improving well-being, relationships, and confidence. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - the BACP - she follows professional standards and a supportive, empathetic style of practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Roda draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. This approach can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, codependency, commitment concerns, and attachment-related difficulties. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which places the client's perspective at the heart of the work and emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration to foster self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key tool in her practice, offering practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Roda works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most effective and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Roda is designed for flexibility and accessibility. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
