About Kadija
Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor with eleven years of experience. She offers calm, gentle sessions for people dealing with anxiety, phobias, depression, relationship strain and bereavement. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, aiming to help clients feel heard and able to speak openly.
She works with a wide range of concerns including LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, stress, addictions and grief. Kadija also supports people facing sleep or eating problems, parenting strain, career questions and major life changes.
Background and approach
She mentions work with ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue as well. Kadija draws on several well known approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
She also practises client-centred methods that make room for a person’s own pace and perspective. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and closeness are difficult, and elements of emotionally focused work support intimacy and connection issues. She has experience with bereavement models too, to guide people through loss in manageable steps.
Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Kadija offers online sessions in English and has worked with people from different countries. She describes therapy as a quiet, peaceful space where someone can explore problems and find clearer ways forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people focus on what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with phobias, panic and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can support people struggling with trust, intimacy or repeated relationship problems.Kadija sees finding the right mix of approaches as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person in front of her. Over the first sessions she adapts what she uses so the work feels practical and relevant to each person’s aims.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. Video lets people meet face to face; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be used when looking for a shorter check-in; messaging and live chat suit ongoing support between longer sessions. These choices offer flexibility and make regular therapy more manageable for busy lives.
