About Kadiatu
Kadiatu Banful welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or relationship strain. She explains things simply and helps clients find practical steps. Kadiatu speaks English and Twi and brings ten years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.
She frames clients as the experts in their own lives and works alongside them to set achievable goals. Her way of working is adaptable. She draws on client-centred therapy to listen deeply and prioritise each person's values.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes. Mindfulness tools are introduced to manage strong emotions and reduce rumination. Kadiatu also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
She pays attention to attachment and family of origin issues when they help explain repeated difficulties. Practical coaching elements are included for people who want clearer steps and accountability. Common areas she helps with include parenting strain, grief and loss, commitment and intimacy concerns, anger, and challenges linked to fertility or cancer.
She also supports people dealing with substance concerns, isolation, guilt and shame, and life-purpose questions. Multicultural concerns and women's issues are part of her practice. Sessions can focus on short-term problem solving or deeper reflection depending on what someone needs.
Kadiatu aims for a calm, respectful space where people can try new ways of coping and make steady change.

Approaches Kadiatu lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple experiments and small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention exercises and grounding practices to reduce rumination and manage strong emotions. These tools are useful alongside other approaches for stress and grief.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kadiatu will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person's goals, history and preferences. The process is collaborative so plans change if something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typed reflections or need more frequent, brief contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family routines and still use the therapeutic tools described above.
