About Khafayah
Khafayah Abdulsalam helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and addiction. She also supports those coping with parenting strain, career decisions, bipolar mood challenges, eating issues, anger, self-esteem struggles and major life changes.
Khafayah’s name and credentials are clear: she holds BACP and NCPS registrations and brings five years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. Her style is warm and person-centred. She listens first and tailors sessions to what each person needs.
Background and approach
Conversations can include practical skills such as emotional regulation and reflective journaling. Where wanted, she offers Islamic counselling elements that draw on Qur’anic reflection, du’a and spiritual language as part of emotional healing. Khafayah draws on a range of approaches to suit different problems.
These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred methods. She adapts techniques to address things like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems and the emotional impact of domestic violence or separation. Sessions can be conducted in English or Yoruba.
She offers remote appointments by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit busy schedules and people living outside the UK. People are invited to work at a steady pace rather than seeking quick fixes. Khafayah aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to tell their story, unburden painful patterns and rebuild a sense of self and faith.
She engages in regular clinical supervision and frames therapy as a collaborative journey toward practical change and inner resilience.

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
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that match those aims. Together they review progress and adjust the plan when needed so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into everyday life. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions are good when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for different schedules, time zones and practical needs when organising appointments with registered or accredited professionals.
