About Kadija
Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor with eleven years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and bereavement, and a wide range of life challenges. She also supports LGBT clients and people dealing with addiction, ADHD, self-esteem issues and career stress.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions are offered in a calm, relaxed atmosphere to help people talk openly and feel listened to.
Background and approach
Kadija describes her approach as compassionate and grounded in real-life experience. She draws on several therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs. These include cognitive behavioural tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns, and client-centred methods that place the person's own goals at the centre of work.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and emotionally focused techniques also inform her practice. Kadija has particular experience in bereavement counselling and applies bereavement models when someone is grieving. She also uses aspects of Islamic counselling for clients who want that perspective, while remaining open to people from any background.
Over her career she has worked with people from many countries and cultural backgrounds. That experience shapes how she listens and responds, aiming to help people build practical coping skills and find a more positive way forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and then take actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and uses practical exercises to create change, which can help with depression, phobias and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current interactions, which can be useful for intimacy, trust and connection issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose methods that suit the person. This collaborative process means techniques can be mixed and adjusted as needs change over time.
Confirm the session formats directly before booking, as current options are not detailed here. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing sessions from wherever someone is located. They can also help people schedule shorter check-ins or quieter, low-bandwidth conversations when that suits them better. Many registered or accredited professionals use online work to help clients balance therapy with busy days.
