Kadija Taha, BACP

Kadija Taha helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement and trauma. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, stress, addictions and parenting concerns. Kadija’s work includes support for LGBT people and others coping with major life changes and career strain.

Kadija is an integrative counsellor with eleven years' experience and holds BACP registration. She offers calm, non-judgemental sessions where people can speak openly and feel heard. Her manner is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel more able to manage daily problems.

Her practice draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. Kadija uses cognitive behavioural techniques alongside person-centred listening and attachment-informed ideas. She also works with bereavement models and brings perspectives from psychodynamic theory into longer-term concerns.

Clients who value a gentle, reflective space often find her pace helpful. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as making sense of difficult feelings. Kadija also offers counselling informed by Islamic perspectives when that is requested by a client.

Having worked with people from many countries and backgrounds, Kadija emphasises respect for cultural differences. She aims to combine practical coping strategies with space to process loss or life transitions. If someone wants steady support to move forward, she helps plan manageable steps toward that goal.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress and when someone wants to reconnect with their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical steps to change them, which can help with depression, phobias and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current bonds and helps people understand patterns in close relationships and intimacy issues.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with a problem-solving method like CBT or moving toward deeper attachment work as trust grows.

Please confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work with a therapist even if they move country, which is helpful for international clients.
