About Khafayah
Khafayah Abdulsalam helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship pain. She works with those coping with trauma, addiction, self-esteem struggles and major life changes. Khafayah offers a calm, respectful way to talk through painful experiences and find clearer choices.
She is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
Background and approach
Khafayah has five years of practice experience and combines psychological methods with spiritually informed options when requested. Her style is trauma-aware and person-centred. She listens without judgement and helps people notice thoughts, feelings and patterns.
Practical tools such as reflective journaling, emotion regulation exercises and thought-focused work are used to build daily coping skills. When faith matters to a client, Khafayah can integrate Islamic counselling elements like Qur'anic reflections, du'a and the Names of Allah into sessions. This is offered only when the client requests spiritually grounded support alongside psychotherapy techniques.
She adapts each session to the person in front of her, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, helping people reconnect with strengths and make choices that fit their values.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Khafayah will discuss goals, preferences and personal history and then agree on methods that feel appropriate. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper emotional work, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, reflective writing prompts and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular therapy and to continue work through life’s changes.
