Kadiatu Banful

Kadiatu Banful is a counsellor who helps people address anger, stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, depression and grief. Sessions are offered in English and Twi to suit different backgrounds.

Kadiatu works from the view that each person knows their own story and strengths. She uses gentle questioning and active listening to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Practical steps and short-term tools are offered alongside deeper reflection when needed.

Her approach draws on several ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. Mindfulness practices help people calm racing thoughts and stay present.

With ten years of professional experience, Kadiatu has supported people through issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, fertility and cancer-related worries. She has also worked with problems around communication, commitment and substance use. Her work includes attention to multicultural and women's issues as they appear in a person's life.

People who choose Kadiatu typically want a mix of practical tools and reflective conversation. She encourages the small experiments that can change how someone copes day to day.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and building a trusting conversation. It helps when someone needs empathy, a non-judgemental ear and space to make sense of difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot patterns between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, anger and low mood because it encourages small behavioural experiments and practical coping steps.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process means methods can shift over time to match a person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or fitting appointments around work. Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered at the time, as options can vary. Many people appreciate that online sessions allow continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
