Ali Hender Counselling Bath

Welcome & About Ali

Welcome. My name is Ali, and I offer professional counselling in Bath, guided by compassion, empathy, and a commitment to genuine human connection. If you’re considering reaching out for support, I understand that doing so takes courage. Whether you are facing emotional distress, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling lost, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard.

My counselling style is warm, open, and person-centred. I believe that meaningful change begins within a trusting therapeutic relationship, where you are met with understanding rather than judgement. My role is not to tell you what to do but to walk alongside you as you explore your own thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Together, we will work gently and at your pace, allowing space for insight, healing, and growth.

In our sessions, you will be invited to reflect on your experiences, consider what’s holding you back, and explore new ways of engaging with yourself and the world. I honour your autonomy, values, and choices, creating a non-judgemental environment where you can feel free to be yourself.

While the work we do can sometimes be challenging, it doesn’t have to be solemn. I bring honesty and empathy to each session—and yes, even humour. Smiling and laughter can be healing, too.

Services

I provide one-to-one counselling for adults, offering both short-term and long-term therapy depending on your individual needs. My approach is rooted in the belief that each person’s journey is unique, and therefore, no two sessions are ever the same.

Areas I can support you with include:

• Anxiety, depression, and low mood

• Relationship challenges and communication issues

• Life transitions and decision-making

• Loss, grief, and bereavement

• Self-esteem and identity

• Feeling stuck or overwhelmed

Our sessions offer a confidential, reflective space in which you can explore what’s most important to you. My practice centres on active listening and deep understanding, while also encouraging honest conversations that invite growth and clarity.

I offer face-to-face sessions in Bath as well as online counselling, depending on what works best for you.
