About Kadija

Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor with 11 years of experience who supports people facing bereavement, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She offers a calm, warm approach that makes it easier for people to speak honestly. Sessions aim to help people feel heard and to explore what they need next in everyday language.

Her work commonly covers stress, trauma, addictions, self-esteem and grief. She also supports people from the LGBT community and those coping with long-term illness, caregiver strain, or major life changes. Kadija combines several approaches to match what each person needs rather than using a single model.

In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She uses person-centred techniques to create a non-judgemental space, and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and choices. These methods are mixed to suit the individual rather than applied rigidly.

Kadija also applies work from bereavement models when someone is grieving, and brings an understanding of Islamic counselling for clients who welcome that perspective. Her experience with people from varied cultural backgrounds informs her practical, respectful style.

People working with her can expect steady, simple steps towards clearer coping and decision-making. She encourages small changes and practical strategies alongside space to process difficult emotions. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

How Kadija’s approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being dominated by them, and supports taking small actions that reflect personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how they shape feelings and reactions, which is useful for relationship strain and intimacy issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kadija works collaboratively to identify which methods feel most helpful based on a person’s goals, history and preferences. She adapts tools over time so sessions remain relevant to what is happening in everyday life.

If you are considering online work, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health limitations, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people living abroad to work with a therapist in the UK. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use different formats, so check the available session types when you match and schedule.
