About Roda
Roda Ali helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports those facing grief, parenting pressures, addictive behaviours, anger, career worries and big life changes. Roda speaks English and Somali and works with people across cultural backgrounds.
She uses a practical, person-focused style. Sessions are conversational and paced to what each person needs. Roda aims to make things clearer and more manageable by looking at patterns in thoughts, feelings and relationships.
Background and approach
Roda draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect connection now. She also uses client-centred ways of listening to help people feel heard, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when they suit someone’s goals.
Her practice is informed by eleven years of experience. Roda is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, which is noted with her credential. She has worked with people affected by domestic violence, displacement and major life transitions.
Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect a person to a suitable session time.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they will review what is helping and adjust the approach as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when visual contact matters, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging can suit those who prefer written reflection or need a more flexible rhythm. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or living in a different country while working with registered or accredited professionals.
