About Kadija

Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor with 11 years of experience who supports people facing grief, loss, relationship strain and a wide range of emotional difficulties. She offers a calm, warm and non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly and feel heard. Kadija lists BACP as her credential and works with individuals from varied cultural backgrounds, including people from the LGBTQ community.

She brings a blend of approaches to sessions, including cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred listening. Kadija also uses bereavement models to help people navigate mourning and loss. Her style is gentle and empathic, aiming to help clients find steadier footing after painful events.

Her work covers anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and relationship concerns such as separation and intimacy issues. She also mentions support for parenting pressures, sleeping and eating concerns, addiction and career-related stress. Money and financial issues are listed among areas she can address when they affect emotional wellbeing.

Kadija describes using Islamic counselling principles as one element of her practice, and she is open to working with people of any faith or none who want a peaceful, reflective approach. She has worked with people from many countries and age groups, and draws on life experience alongside clinical methods.

Sessions focus on practical conversation, building understanding and identifying small changes that make life more manageable. Kadija aims to help clients develop new perspectives and practical coping steps to move forward.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then decide what matters most to them. It is often used when anxiety, depression or life changes get in the way of living the way someone wants.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor listens without judgement and supports the person to find their own solutions, which can help with self-esteem, relationship questions and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kadija will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process aims to fit the approach to the person rather than the other way round.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep continuity of care if they move or live in another country, since she accepts international clients.
