About Kadija
Kadija Taha is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years' experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and life changes. Kadija also lists work with LGBT clients, trauma and bereavement among her core concerns.
She describes an integrative style that draws on several methods. Sessions are conversational and focused on what is affecting daily life. Kadija uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside emotionally focused and attachment-informed ways of working.
Her background includes bereavement counselling and experience working with people from many countries and cultures. That breadth of contact has shaped how she responds to different life stories and losses. She also draws on experience as an Islamic counsellor when clients request that perspective.
In sessions she attends to relationships, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges and career uncertainty. She also supports people dealing with stress, addiction-related concerns, anger and attention difficulties. Kadija lists additional focus areas such as body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and adoption or foster-care issues.
Clients can expect a straightforward, conversational approach that names problems and works on what can help now. She supports people who are trying to make sense of change and decide what matters next. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It focuses on values and practical behaviours rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thinking, feeling and acting and offers exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused and attachment-informed work pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and helps people identify and rework unhelpful interaction patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kadija will discuss methods and decide with the client which fits best for their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative selection can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit a meeting around work, reduce travel time and choose quieter surroundings. Others prefer a shorter phone check-in when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Discussing these practicalities at the start helps shape sessions that fit daily life.
