About Kadiatu
Kadiatu Banful welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or relationship strain. She speaks English and Twi, and she aims to help people who want clearer communication, relief from intense feelings, or more satisfaction in their lives. Kadiatu works from the view that each person knows their story best and already has strengths to draw on.
Kadiatu has a BACP credential and around ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
She has supported people coping with grief and loss, parenting stresses, and issues that arise from different cultural backgrounds. Her work also covers intimacy-related concerns, anger, addiction, and questions about life purpose. In sessions she combines client-centred listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness.
That means she focuses on understanding a person’s experience while also offering straightforward tools to manage thoughts and emotions. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to uncover patterns that come from early relationships. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
She aims to create a calm environment where people can talk through painful feelings and try new ways of responding. She offers coaching-style guidance when someone needs to set goals and take action. People who want to begin can expect a simple first step where they describe their concerns and priorities.
Kadiatu will help identify what matters most and suggest approaches to try together as therapy progresses.

How Kadiatu works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviour. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems where skills and small experiments make a difference.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. It often pairs well with breathing and grounding exercises that can be used between sessions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try approaches together and adapt them over time. That collaborative process helps shape sessions around a person's needs.
If you are considering online work, please confirm which session formats are available before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow people to use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options depending on what suits them.
