About Kadiatu
Kadiatu Banful is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has around 10 years of experience in practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and parenting pressures. She also provides support around intimacy-related issues, anger and coaching for life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Twi and Kadiatu accepts clients outside the UK.
Kadiatu’s way of working starts from the view that each person knows their own story best. She encourages people to talk through what feels difficult and to notice the strengths they already have. Conversations are practical and grounded, with attention to how feelings and past experiences affect daily behaviour.
She uses a mix of approaches to help people manage thoughts, feelings and reactions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small changes in behaviour. Client-centred ideas shape the sessions so the person’s priorities guide what happens next.
Mindfulness tools are drawn on to help with strong emotions and to build steadier responses to stress. Psychodynamic thinking is used where exploring earlier relationships or patterns seems useful for understanding current difficulties.
Kadiatu also works with issues linked to abandonment, attachment, communication problems, addiction, fertility and life purpose. She aims to be straightforward and practical, helping people develop clearer ways to manage anger, guilt, shame and isolation so they can function better in daily life.
How Kadiatu uses approaches in online sessions
Kadiatu commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred work in sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce stress and reactive anger. Client-centred work keeps the conversation guided by the person’s own concerns and priorities, which helps shape practical next steps.She also uses mindfulness practices to steady strong emotions. Mindfulness exercises involve simple attention and breathing techniques that can make it easier to pause before reacting. Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the process and will be decided together based on the client’s goals, preferences and what feels most useful.
