About Kadiatu
BACP. 10 years of counselling experience. Kadiatu Banful works with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and addresses grief, parenting matters and cultural issues in therapy. She also supports people with intimacy-related difficulties, anger and coaching needs, and gives attention to topics such as attachment and abandonment concerns.
Kadiatu frames clients as the experts in their own stories and works collaboratively to build on existing strengths. She uses conversational, person-centred techniques to help people talk through what is worrying them. Sessions look at current patterns, feelings and practical steps people can try between meetings.
Her approach blends client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness practices to help manage symptoms and day-to-day coping. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to consider past relationships and family of origin themes that can affect present life.
Kadiatu has supported people with fertility and cancer-related challenges, drug and alcohol addiction issues, and concerns around commitment, communication and life purpose. She can address shame, guilt and isolation, and works with multicultural and women’s issues as part of her practice.
Sessions are offered in English and Twi. She provides counselling from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and strengths. The counsellor listens without directing and helps people reflect on their feelings and choices, which can help with relationship and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kadiatu will discuss goals and preferences with the client and decide together whether client-centred talking, CBT techniques or mindfulness practices are the best fit for the presenting issues. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, avoid travel time and have appointments from different locations. Some formats may be more suitable when a shorter check-in is needed or when audio-only contact is preferable to video. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods so therapeutic work continues effectively across distance.
