About Kadija
Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor with 11 years of experience who helps people facing depression and related difficulties. She offers a calm, warm approach that aims to make people feel heard and able to speak freely. Kadija works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, relationship strain, bereavement and identity questions for LGBT people.
She holds BACP accreditation and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally in English.
Background and approach
Her sessions are unfussy and client-led. Kadija draws on person-centred listening alongside evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. She creates space for quiet reflection and practical conversation depending on what feels most useful.
Kadija blends cognitive behavioural ideas with acceptance and commitment principles to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. Emotion-focused methods are used when feelings need to be named and worked through in the room.
She has particular experience supporting people through grief and loss, and uses bereavement models to guide that work. Kadija also brings an understanding of Islamic counselling approaches, and she offers this to clients who feel it would be helpful. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.
She aims to be practical and compassionate, helping people build coping strategies and clearer next steps. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Kadija combines these approaches with attachment-informed thinking to understand how early relationships affect current patterns. Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try different ways of working so the approach suits the person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be helpful for shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
