Khafayah Abdulsalam helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, trauma and addiction. She is named Khafayah and brings a calm, respectful manner to sessions. She speaks English and Yoruba and works remotely with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Khafayah holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which means she is recognised by those UK counselling bodies. She has five years of experience supporting people through emotional overwhelm, low self-worth, depression and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also focuses on issues such as parenting strain, career stress, bipolar challenges and coping with major life changes. Her style is person-centred and practical. She uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches, emotionally focused work and acceptance and commitment ideas.

The aim is to help people spot unhelpful patterns, try different actions and build steady coping skills. Khafayah also works with attachment-related difficulties, abandonment wounds, codependency, communication problems and blended family tensions. She can include faith-based reflections if a client requests spiritual material as part of sessions.

Sessions may include reflective journaling, emotion regulation techniques and paced processing of painful memories. Khafayah offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging and engages in regular clinical supervision under BACP guidelines.

Approaches and how online sessions help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can suit anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps with attachment issues, abandonment wounds and problems with intimacy by building safer ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as you make progress or new priorities arise.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or clients who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life, while letting the therapist use ACT, attachment work and person-centred techniques effectively in remote sessions.
