About Kadiatu

Kadiatu Banful helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. She works in a way that treats the client as the expert in their own story and focuses on practical steps to manage difficulties. Kadiatu is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has around 10 years of practice experience.

Kadiatu draws on several approaches in her work. She uses client-centred methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. She also applies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop clearer ways of coping with anxious or low mood.

Mindfulness techniques appear in sessions to help people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. She also looks at psychodynamic themes to consider how past relationships and family of origin issues influence present behaviour. These methods are used flexibly depending on the person’s concerns.

Kadiatu supports people with grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, and concerns related to abandonment and attachment. She also works with those facing fertility or cancer-related stress, issues with addiction, and challenges linked to life purpose, guilt or shame. Multicultural concerns and women’s issues are included in her focus.

Sessions are conducted in English and Twi, which can help people who prefer either language.

How Kadiatu uses different approaches in online sessions

Client-centred counselling focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens and reflects what matters most, helping someone to make sense of their feelings and choose next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and supports practical changes for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises and ways to notice thoughts without reacting. This can reduce rumination and help with anger, grief or intense emotion. Kadiatu draws on these approaches to match the work to the person’s goals and the issues they bring to sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to agree what to focus on and whether CBT, mindfulness or a client-centred way is most helpful. This decision is reviewed as therapy progresses to reflect changing needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also offer more flexibility around appointment times for people who live in different time zones or who need to balance work and family commitments.
