About Kadija

Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor with a focused specialism in bereavement support and 11 years of clinical experience. She combines evidence-informed methods from several therapeutic traditions to tailor care to each person's needs, offering a calm and compassionate presence that prioritises respect and empathic listening. Kadija creates a gentle, non-judgemental space where people can express difficult feelings, explore relationships, and work through life transitions.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, fear, depression, phobias, relationship and couples issues, separation and bereavement, and many other emotional challenges. She also provides dedicated support for LGBT clients, helping them pursue more comfortable and fulfilling lives. Kadija draws on bereavement models alongside integrative techniques to support people grieving loss, and she brings experience in Islamic counselling for clients who wish to include that perspective in their work.

Kadija has worked with people of all ages and a variety of cultural backgrounds, including international clients, and views that diversity as central to her approach. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards. Her approach aims to help people navigate difficulties and rediscover more positive ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful actions - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional responses and intimacy, and can be helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and patterns of avoidance or fear in close connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and phobias, and often provides practical tools for coping with day-to-day challenges.

Kadija works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process and Kadija supports clients in exploring options and adjusting the plan as needed.

Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, Kadija provides flexible access to therapy that can fit into different schedules and time zones. Online work makes it possible to maintain continuity of care during life changes, reduce travel time, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while still engaging with registered professionals and therapists in a structured therapeutic process.
