About Kadiatu
Kadiatu Banful is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. She speaks English and Twi and works with people from different backgrounds. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at making each session feel useful from the first meeting.
Kadiatu views clients as experts in their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and straightforward steps that can be practised between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of listening, practical tools and reflection to help people manage hard moments and build healthier patterns. Her practice draws on a range of counselling methods. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes.
Mindfulness techniques help people slow down and notice what is happening in the moment. Client-centred skills create space for people to be heard without judgement. With ten years of experience, Kadiatu has supported people through issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, fertility and cancer-related stress, and substance use challenges.
She also offers coaching-style work for those looking to clarify life purpose or make practical changes. Kadiatu is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions online to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. In online sessions this means the counsellor creates space for people to tell their story and feel genuinely heard, which helps with emotional clarity and self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions shape feelings and offers practical steps to change them. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises, thought records and behavioural experiments that can be tried between meetings to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The counsellor will talk through different methods with the client, weigh what feels most useful, and adapt the plan as progress is made. Clients have a say in which techniques they try and how sessions are structured.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone calls suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer typing, want brief day-to-day support, or need a quick way to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
