Kadija Taha, BACP

Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor with 11 years of experience who supports people facing midlife shifts, grief, relationship strain and anxiety. She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress, addictions, self-esteem and parenting challenges. Kadija brings a calm and warm presence so people can speak openly and feel heard.

She offers bereavement counselling alongside general integrative work. Her sessions aim to be quiet and relaxing, with a non-judgemental tone that helps people explore painful feelings at their own pace. Kadija also describes experience supporting LGBT people and those from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Her practice draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. Kadija uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thought and behaviour patterns. She also uses person-centred methods to follow what the client feels is most important.

She has worked with clients from many countries and across different life stages, which she says informs her cultural understanding. Kadija mentions using bereavement models and aspects of Islamic counselling for those who want that perspective, while remaining open to people of any background.

Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking as well as emotional processing. People will find a steady, compassionate counsellor who aims to help them regain perspective and build coping strategies for the challenges they bring.

To begin working together clients can complete the platform’s matching steps and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages small, values-based actions so people can move towards what matters despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current bonds and communication, helping people understand patterns in close relationships and build safer connection skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their concerns, goals and preferences and decide together which method or mix to try. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is made or new needs arise.

The main practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into everyday life. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations and to schedule appointments around work or family commitments. Please confirm what session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online sessions useful for keeping continuity of care and for using exercises, worksheets and check-ins between meetings.
