About Kadiatu
Kadiatu Banful is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has around 10 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting concerns, anger and coaching needs. Sessions are offered in English and Twi and international clients are accepted.
Kadiatu focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. She uses clear, practical techniques alongside space to talk through what matters. The room is used to look at day-to-day problems such as communication breakdowns, parenting strain, relationship commitment worries and feelings of isolation or shame.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and test new behaviours. She also uses client-centred ways of listening and mindfulness practices to help with grounding and stress management. Psychodynamic ideas are sometimes used to look at longer-standing patterns from family of origin or attachment issues.
Kadiatu works with a wide range of concerns that include fertility and cancer-related distress, drug and alcohol addiction, and questions about life purpose. She helps people address guilt, forgiveness, multicultural stresses and the transition into young adulthood. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clear goals alongside exploring underlying emotions.
People who choose Kadiatu can expect structured conversation, simple exercises to try between sessions, and regular review of progress. To start, readers should use the See online therapy options button and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How Kadiatu combines CBT and talking work online
Online sessions can use specific methods in ways that fit day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot thought patterns, try small experiments and practise different responses to stress or anxiety. Client-centred work focuses on listening and building the therapist-client collaboration so practical goals can be set. Mindfulness therapy offers short grounding exercises that help with stress, intense emotions and staying present.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kadiatu will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a plan with each person. That plan can mix CBT exercises, reflective conversation and short mindfulness practices depending on what feels most useful and doable.
Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will actually take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. Some people find shorter sessions or audio-only meetings easier for times with less bandwidth or a need for a lower-key check-in. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit the online setting and everyday schedules.
