Kadiatu Banful

Kadiatu Banful is a counsellor who helps people feeling alone, overwhelmed or stuck. She works with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Kadiatu also supports people facing grief, parenting strains, intimacy worries and life-purpose questions. She speaks English and Twi and practices in the United Kingdom.

Kadiatu believes people are the experts of their own stories and that strengths already exist to build on. In sessions she uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. That means talking through feelings, looking at patterns in thoughts and behaviour, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier.

Her approach mixes client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and moments of mindfulness. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to gently look at past patterns that shape present choices. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the individual.

With around ten years of professional experience, Kadiatu has worked with people from different cultural backgrounds and life stages. She offers support for particular concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, addiction, fertility and cancer-related challenges. She also helps people navigating multicultural and women’s issues.

People who come to Kadiatu can expect clear, down-to-earth conversation and practical steps to try between meetings. To begin, the site process matches you and lets you arrange sessions when it suits your schedule.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. The therapist offers empathic presence and helps you find your own solutions, which can suit worries like loneliness, grief and relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, moods and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking. Short mindfulness exercises can help with rumination and feeling more grounded day to day.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will try different ways of working together until the right fit is found. This is a collaborative process shaped by what helps you most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel by removing commute time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when only a brief review is needed, or reduce the need to be on camera depending on the session type available.
