About Kadija
Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor who offers bereavement and end-of-life support alongside general counselling. She brings eleven years of experience and a warm, non-judgemental manner that helps people feel heard. Sessions aim to be calm and relaxed so clients can talk openly about hard things.
Kadija works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, LGBT matters, parenting strain, addictions and stress. She also supports people facing chronic illness, cancer and caregiver stress, and those dealing with attachment, abandonment or blended family difficulties. Her approach is practical and person-centred, focusing on what someone needs in the moment.
Her clinical toolkit draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, attachment-based thinking and emotionally-focused work. She also uses psychodynamic perspectives and bereavement models to guide people through loss. Kadija tailors methods to fit each person rather than using one fixed way.
As an experienced Islamic counsellor she offers an option that may appeal to people from Muslim backgrounds, while remaining open to anyone who prefers that style. She describes her work as compassionate and genuine, shaped by many years helping people from different countries and walks of life.
Kadija aims to help people cope with life changes, rebuild perspective and find small steps forward after loss or crisis. The emphasis is on listening first, then working together to try strategies that reduce distress and restore a sense of direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online bereavement support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of connecting and trusting, which is helpful for intimacy and relationship wounds. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own experience and pace, offering empathic listening so clients can explore feelings and make their own choices.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kadija will listen to what matters to the client, explain possible ways of working and agree a plan together. That means the methods used can change as needs and goals evolve during counselling.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access support from different locations, which has helped others continue bereavement work or maintain support during major life transitions.
