About Kadija
Kadija Taha offers help for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. She also supports people with grief, LGBT issues, stress, self-esteem problems, addictions and life changes. Her approach is calm and warm so people can talk openly and feel heard.
Kadija works in a gentle, paced way. She blends somatic ideas with other talking therapies to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and in thoughts.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make practical changes step by step rather than rush to solutions. Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused thinking and cognitive-behavioural techniques. She also uses client-centred, humanistic ways of working to create a relaxed atmosphere.
This mix helps with mood, anxiety, relationship difficulties and coping after loss. Kadija has worked in counselling for eleven years and holds BACP registration. She has experience supporting people from different cultures and countries and uses bereavement models when someone is grieving.
She is comfortable offering an approach informed by Islamic counselling for those who wish to include faith in sessions. Therapy can include talking, learning new ways to manage emotions and noticing bodily responses to stress. Kadija aims to help people find clearer ways to cope, rebuild confidence and make decisions that feel right for them.
How Kadija’s approaches translate to online therapy
Somatic-informed work helps people notice physical signs of stress and tension. In online sessions this can mean guiding gentle body awareness and breathing exercises and checking how sensations change as feelings are named. It is useful for anxiety, stress and trauma-related symptoms.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. Online ACT sessions often combine short exercises, reflection and practical steps to handle difficult feelings while pursuing what matters most.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current trust and connection. In remote therapy this can look like mapping relationship patterns, practising new ways of relating and testing those changes between sessions.
Choosing the best approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, life context and preferences and then try methods that suit their needs. This collaborative process can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online formats - video, phone, live chat or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. They allow flexible scheduling and the choice of how to communicate, which can help people engage when leaving home or travel is difficult.
