About Kadiatu

Kadiatu Banful is a BACP-registered counsellor with ten years of practice. She focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Parents looking for help with parenting pressures will find straightforward, practical support.

She also helps with grief, intimacy questions and anger, using clear, down-to-earth language. Kadiatu begins by listening to what matters most to the client. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and draws on that knowledge to plan forward steps.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that fit everyday life. Her approach mixes client-centred work with cognitive behavioural strategies and mindfulness. This combination helps people notice patterns of thought and try new ways of responding.

She also brings psychodynamic ideas to understand long-standing patterns that affect current relationships. Kadiatu has supported people with attachment and abandonment concerns, issues arising from family of origin, and multicultural stress. She offers help around fertility and cancer-related emotional strain, and works with those dealing with addiction and young adult transitions.

Sessions are available in English and Twi and she accepts international clients. Practical arrangements such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging are offered to suit different lifestyles. To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the platform process.

Online support

How Kadiatu’s approaches work online

Kadiatu uses client-centred counselling to create a respectful space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist follows. This approach helps clarify what matters most and build on existing strengths.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small changes in everyday life. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety and low mood because it gives practical tools to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kadiatu will discuss different methods and agree together which fits the client’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or when someone prefers writing. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school or caring responsibilities.
