About Kadija
Kadija Taha is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, stress, addiction and codependency. She also supports people from LGBT backgrounds and those dealing with life changes and parenting pressures.
Kadija uses an integrative approach rather than one fixed model. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and actions, and on person-centred practices to listen and reflect what matters to the client. She also brings in attachment-focused work when relationships and closeness are central concerns.
Sessions are straightforward conversations about what is happening now, and what the client wants to be different. Kadija describes bereavement counselling as a particular area of focus and uses bereavement models to support people who are grieving. She also notes experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and different countries.
Her style is calm and low-key, with an emphasis on giving people space to speak and be heard. She offers some Islamic counselling perspectives alongside other approaches, and is open to working with people of any background who wish to try that element.
Kadija’s practice covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her work often includes helping people set clearer personal boundaries and untangle patterns of putting others first.
To begin, she asks people to outline what they want from counselling and chooses approaches that fit those aims. The focus is practical - noticing patterns, trying small changes, and reviewing what helps and what does not.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance and making life choices. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings of safety and closeness, and is often useful when trust, intimacy or attachment issues are central. Client-Centred Therapy (person-centred) places the person’s experience at the centre and uses reflective listening to help clarify what matters and what change might look like.Kadija treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. She will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that fit those aims, and adjust the work as the client notices what helps. The focus is on practical steps and checking in about whether a method feels useful.
The therapist’s biography did not name specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit counselling around work and family commitments, avoid travel, or choose a quieter time for a shorter check-in. Other practical benefits include easier scheduling across time zones for international clients and the ability to continue therapy after a move. Registered or accredited professionals will help choose session length and frequency that fit everyday life.
