About Kadija

Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor who supports people facing anger, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She works with grief, bereavement and loss, and helps clients manage stress, low self-esteem and life changes. Kadija offers a calm, warm and non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and be heard.

Her approach blends practical methods with a person-centred attitude. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas to look at values, connection and how patterns affect relationships.

Kadija describes herself as compassionate and genuine. She mentions experience as an Islamic counsellor and uses bereavement models when grief is the focus. That background informs how she tailors support for each person rather than following a single route.

She has worked with people from many countries and a range of cultures. That experience shapes a flexible style that aims to meet practical needs and personal values. Conversations are plain and direct, with space to reflect and try new ways of coping.

Kadija holds BACP as a listed credential and brings eleven years of counselling experience. People interested in talking about anger, relationship struggles, identity, or major life events can use this starting point to see if her way of working feels like a fit.

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. That approach suits worries, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try different ways of relating and feeling safer in close connections.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Sessions often blend approaches so the plan fits the individual rather than a single technique being applied rigidly.

The original biography does not state which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people meet a therapist who understands their cultural or faith background even if they live elsewhere. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and conversations for remote sessions, helping people practise new skills between meetings.
