Kadiatu Banful, BACP

Kadiatu Banful welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship difficulties. She helps with low mood, parenting pressures, intimacy concerns and issues around anger and life purpose. Kadiatu speaks English and Twi and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Kadiatu takes a straightforward, respectful approach. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and aimed at finding practical steps you can use between meetings.

She draws on a mix of methods to suit each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with unhelpful thoughts and routines. Mindfulness practices offer simple ways to manage stress and stay present. Client-centred principles guide sessions so people feel heard and understood.

Over ten years of experience have brought work with a wide range of concerns. Kadiatu has supported people facing bereavement, attachment and family of origin issues, addiction and fertility or cancer-related stress. She also offers coaching for life transitions and commitment or communication challenges.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text message, allowing flexible fits for different schedules. Kadiatu uses her BACP registration to inform ethical practice and professional standards. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

Approach and online support for everyday challenges

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and creating a trusting space where the person leads the conversation. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of personal values, relationship choices or life direction.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to manage stress and stay grounded in difficult moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you go. That collaborative process helps you find what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and non-verbal cues, phone calls are handy when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options let people fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping regular contact with their therapist.
