About Khafayah

Khafayah Abdulsalam offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also helps with addictions, family and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem and career questions. Khafayah works with people facing bipolar symptoms, life changes, compassion fatigue and those seeking coaching for clearer choices.

Khafayah describes herself as a Muslim counsellor and psychotherapist. She is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Background and approach

She also works with clients in English and Yoruba. Her style is trauma-informed and integrative. She uses person-centred counselling to create space for people to be heard.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and emotionally focused ideas to help with feelings and relationships. When wanted, Khafayah can integrate Islamic counselling elements. That may include Qur'anic reflection, du'a or consideration of faith as part of emotional healing.

Clients decide how much faith-based material to include in sessions. She offers remote sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Khafayah has five years of experience and works with people from the United Kingdom and internationally.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that help someone move toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns. It helps people understand connection styles and rebuild more supported ways of relating, useful for relationship strain, attachment issues and feelings of abandonment.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a way forward together. That might involve trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting as things unfold.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can need less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports short or ongoing written contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping consistent contact with a registered or accredited professional.
