Says here "Gain 1 life for each attacking creature you control." Take Heart
Just for funsies let's say there are 5 attacking creatures. Would Ajani's Pridemate receive 5 counters?

You get 1 counter on Ajani's Pridemate because it is a single instance of life gain. If it were something instead like Curse of the Forsaken being on the defending player, you would get 5 individual triggers, thus 5 instances of lifegain and 5 counters.

So the spell is the instance. Not the number of creatures. Got it.
Thank you both.

The way Take Heart is worded you gain only one instance of X life for X attacking creatures you control, so if cast during the combat phase (if you cast it outside of combat or during someone else's turn you don't gain life) you will gain one instance of 5 life for your five attacking creatures and Ajani's Pridemate will get one +1/+1 counter.
For your desired effect you'd have to run stuff like Campaign of Vengeance , Patron of the Kitsune or Righteous Cause :)
