Kadija Taha , BACP

Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor who specialises in bereavement support and offers a calm, compassionate approach to therapy. She combines an empathic understanding with practical therapeutic tools to support people facing a wide range of challenges, from anxiety and depression to relationship difficulties, separation, phobias and grief.

Working in a warm, non-judgemental manner, she creates a relaxed space where clients can express themselves and feel truly heard. Her approach draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic ideas and a person-centered way of working, alongside a range of bereavement models to support those mourning a loss.

Kadija also offers support to LGBT clients and those navigating intimacy-related issues, family and parenting concerns, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or life transition challenges. She brings additional experience in Islamic counselling to her practice and is open to working with people of any background who wish to explore that perspective.

With experience across age groups and cultural backgrounds and 11 years in practice, Kadija is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She aims to help clients access resources and perspectives that support healing, resilience and a more hopeful view of life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and emotions while taking values-driven actions to move forward. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes because it encourages practical steps aligned with what matters to the client.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related problems and attachment issues within families and partnerships.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening, warmth and a non-judgemental stance that helps people find their own solutions. It is particularly helpful for clients seeking support with grief, self-esteem, stress and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kadija works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors the work over time so that therapy evolves with the client's changing priorities.

Online therapy with Kadija is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the mode of communication that feels most helpful for each session.
