About Kadija
Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor who supports people facing grief, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and a wide range of life stresses. She also offers specialist bereavement support and welcomes LGBT clients who want practical help to live more comfortably. Kadija provides a calm, warm and non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and feel heard.
She draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes. Person-centred ideas guide how she listens, keeping the session focused on the person’s experience. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships, loss or abandonment are central concerns.
Kadija has eleven years of practice and works with people from many backgrounds. Her work has included supporting those affected by bereavement, chronic illness, caregiving stress and identity-related issues. She says her own life experience informs a compassionate style that aims to help people find a more hopeful perspective.
Sessions are described as quiet and relaxing, aimed at letting people express themselves without pressure. Kadija also brings experience in Islamic counselling for clients who wish to include faith perspectives in their work together. She has worked with people across different countries and cultural backgrounds.
If someone wants support with grief, relationship challenges, stress, ADHD-related concerns, or coping with life changes, Kadija aims to tailor her methods to the person’s needs and goals.

Step 3
How Kadija's approaches fit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current trust and intimacy. It helps when grief, abandonment or relationship problems are central. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work and relies on careful listening and acceptance to help people make their own changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kadija will discuss these options and agree a plan with the client based on their goals, preferences and what they want to achieve. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when people live far apart. Some people find shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations easier to manage, while others like a longer visual session for deeper therapeutic work. The exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking to know what will work best for your schedule and needs.
