Kadiatu Banful , BACP

Kadiatu Banful is licensed to practice in the United Kingdom and brings more than eight years of professional experience to her work. She supports adults facing depression, stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and challenges related to culture and parenting.

Her approach centers on the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses strengths that can be mobilized to address life’s difficulties. Kadiatu works with clients to identify those resources and to build practical skills for coping and growth.

She recognizes that seeking change requires courage and offers steady support throughout the process of moving toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kadiatu often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and helping clients explore their own values and goals so they can make choices that feel authentic. This approach can be helpful for those working through relationship issues, life transitions, or questions of identity.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT can be useful for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey and Kadiatu takes a collaborative stance - she will work with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most effective and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from various locations, while preserving the collaborative, goal-focused work of therapy.
