About Kadija
Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience and BACP registration. She lists anxiety, depression, relationship problems, bereavement and LGBT concerns among the issues she helps people address.
Kadija uses a mix of talking approaches to guide practical changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work and client-centred methods to explore values, relationships and emotional patterns.
Sessions are described as calm and paced to suit the person. Kadija works through current problems and coping strategies, and offers bereavement models for loss. She mentions using Islamic counselling approaches when clients request that perspective, and says she has worked with people from multiple countries and backgrounds.
Her way of working aims to identify small, actionable steps that reduce distress. That can include testing a different response to a difficult situation, trying new ways to manage sleep or mood, or practising clearer communication in relationships. Practical tools and reflective conversation are mixed in most sessions.
Clients who want to try an integrative counsellor can expect a straightforward, conversational style. The emphasis is on noticing patterns, trying alternatives and tracking what helps over time. Booking starts with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session.
Kadija notes experience with a wide range of concerns beyond the headline issues, including grief, addiction, ADHD, parenting strain, body image and chronic illness. She works in English and is open to international clients who choose to work with her.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kadija commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and then test different responses in daily life. That approach suits issues like anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and habits that people want to change.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on values and committed actions. ACT can help when someone wants to reduce avoidance and live more in line with what matters to them. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change reactive cycles.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will check goals, try methods and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist plan together which techniques to use and how to apply them between sessions.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow regular short check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools normally used in person so practical exercises and tracking still happen across sessions.
