About Khafayah

Khafayah Abdulsalam is a counsellor and psychotherapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, low self-worth and addiction. She works with issues linked to family and cultural expectations, intimacy and parenting concerns. Khafayah is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Yoruba.

She brings five years of practice to each appointment and holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS.

Background and approach

She also practises from a faith-aware perspective and can include Islamic counselling elements when requested. Her style is trauma-informed and integrative. That means she adapts the way she works to fit what the person needs.

Sessions can include reflective journaling, emotional regulation tools and a focus on strengthening a person’s sense of self. Khafayah draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. She uses client-centred listening as the foundation of her work and will collaborate on practical steps between sessions.

Many people choose to explore cultural or spiritual struggles with her, as well as recovery from toxic or abusive relationships. Therapy with Khafayah aims to help someone reconnect with their own values and make clearer life choices rather than offering quick fixes.

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 suited to online work

Khafayah uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing memories and reduce the hold those memories have on daily life. This approach aims to break down traumatic experiences into manageable pieces and to build coping skills that lessen reactivity.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed actions that fit those values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and may blend approaches as progress unfolds.

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 can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on consistent, practical support from a registered or accredited professional.
