About Kadija
Counsellor Kadija Taha is a BACP-registered practitioner with 11 years' experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and bereavement. She also supports people facing issues around identity and LGBT matters, eating and sleeping problems, stress and coping with life changes.
Kadija describes her way of working as integrative. She draws on client-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas and emotionally focused methods when these fit the client’s needs. Sessions aim to be calm and unhurried so people can talk through what matters most to them.
She has particular experience in bereavement work and uses bereavement models to guide that support. Kadija also notes experience working with people from different cultural backgrounds and with clients from other countries. She is open to working with people of varied faiths and says her background informs some of her practice.
Kadija works from a counselling perspective and says she adapts methods to suit each person rather than following a single model. She pays attention to patterns in relationships, emotional responses and practical thinking styles. Together with the person she will identify small steps and ways to cope between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
Approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and then choose actions that matter to them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and problems where avoidance has become a pattern.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for issues like depression, anxiety and sleep problems.
Attachment-Based ideas look at patterns that formed in close relationships and how they affect current relationships. This approach can help with intimacy, relationship difficulties and grief.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the first sessions. The counsellor will work with the client to agree what methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as work progresses and is reviewed together.
If you want to use online counselling, check the current session options before booking so you know the exact format offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tools and exercises to work well over distance.
