About Kadija
Kadija Taha is a counsellor who supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues and parenting stress. She offers a calm, warm approach designed to help people feel heard and understood. Kadija uses a gentle, non-judgemental manner to make it easier to talk about painful or difficult things.
She blends several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. This can include cognitive behavioural ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking, client-centred listening to help people find their own answers, and attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships still influence feelings now.
Background and approach
These methods are used in straightforward, practical ways during sessions. Kadija has 11 years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as a credential. She has worked with people from many cultural backgrounds and across different countries.
She also draws on bereavement practice and experience supporting people who identify as LGBT. Sessions aim to feel peaceful and focused. Kadija often helps people explore coping strategies, set small goals, and try things between sessions to test what helps.
The conversation is paced to the person’s needs and respects differing beliefs and values. People who choose Kadija can expect a calm space to talk through loss, life changes, parenting pressures, or ongoing stress. The emphasis is on practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical exercises to test new ways of coping with worry and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s own experience and uses empathic listening to help them find their own solutions and build self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kadija will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then choose or combine methods in a collaborative way. This lets the therapy evolve as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different routines. Video calls let people read body language and maintain a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Text chat or messaging suits ongoing reflection, brief updates between sessions, or people who prefer not to use audio or video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and day-to-day life.
