About Kadija
Kadija Taha is an integrative counsellor who supports people with sleep difficulties alongside a wide range of emotional concerns. She draws on 11 years of experience and a warm, non-judgemental manner to help people feel heard. Her sessions aim to be calm and relaxed so clients can talk openly about what keeps them awake or unsettled.
Kadija uses practical conversation and gentle reflection to help people make small changes. She combines methods from cognitive behavioural therapy with person-centred listening to look at thoughts, feelings and day-to-day habits. Work on sleep may include examining routines, tackling anxiety that interferes with rest, and exploring ways to reduce unhelpful thinking around sleep.
She also offers support for bereavement, relationship strain, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns and identity issues including LGBT matters. Kadija says her experience working with people from different countries has broadened how she thinks about culture and loss. This shapes a flexible way of working with individual life stories.
Kadija is recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She draws on bereavement models and an Islamic counselling perspective when clients request that approach, while remaining open to other ways of working. She welcomes conversations in English.
Sessions are intended to help people create small, realistic steps toward better sleep and coping. The focus is on what will fit into everyday life, balancing practical suggestions with listening and emotional support.
How therapeutic approaches can help you online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can be useful for sleep problems tied to worry or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and often includes practical exercises to change routines and anxious thinking that disrupt sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to early patterns in close relationships that can shape how a person reacts to stress and loss; this can help when sleep issues are connected to relationship anxiety or grief.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kadija will discuss different methods and agree a plan with the client. This is a collaborative process based on the person's goals, day-to-day life and what feels most helpful in early sessions.
The original biography does not specify session formats for online work, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit into a busy day, because it can remove travel time and allow shorter or more focused check-ins. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain continuity when people live apart from their counsellor or move between locations. Ask about the formats offered so you can choose what suits your schedule and comfort.
