About Kadija

Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor with 11 years of experience and a BACP registration in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and a wide range of other concerns. She also lists LGBT-related issues and trauma among her areas of focus and accepts international clients.

Kadija uses a mix of approaches to fit different needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours, and on client-centred methods to prioritise how a person wants to be heard. Attachment-informed thinking and emotionally focused work appear in her practice when relationships or loss are central themes.

Sessions aim to be calm and unhurried. Kadija has experience helping people through bereavement and separation, and she names body image, addiction, parenting strain and career stress among the issues she supports. She also mentions work with people living with chronic illness and with neurodivergent profiles in her wider focus areas.

Her background includes work with people from many countries and a stated interest in offering counselling informed by Islamic perspectives for those who wish to try that style. This is offered alongside other therapeutic methods rather than as a replacement for them.

Clients can expect practical conversation and reflection. Kadija combines life experience with therapeutic techniques to help people cope with change, process loss and rebuild after difficult events. The emphasis is on straightforward, steady support rather than promises of a specific outcome.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, and taking small actions that match what matters to someone. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This is often chosen for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections; it can help when grief, intimacy or repeated relationship issues are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kadija will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as goals and needs become clearer. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to try and when to change direction.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They can also help people keep appointments while living abroad or studying in another country. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use different formats to match practical needs.
