About Khafayah

Khafayah Abdulsalam offers help for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addiction. She also supports people facing issues with family life, intimacy, eating, parenting, anger, self‑esteem, career changes and coping with life transitions. Khafayah uses clear, practical tools and listens without judgment.

She works in English and Yoruba and is based in the United Kingdom. Khafayah holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and is an Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Background and approach

She blends several therapy styles to suit the person in front of her rather than relying on a single method. Sessions are shaped around what a client needs that week and what feels achievable between appointments. Her practice is trauma‑informed and integrates person‑centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques.

She also draws on Emotionally‑Focused Therapy and attachment work to help people understand patterns in their close relationships. Practical exercises such as journaling and emotional regulation strategies are often used alongside reflective conversation. Khafayah offers the option to include Islamic counselling elements when a client wishes, such as Qur’anic reflection and du’a, to bring faith into the healing process.

She describes therapy as a gradual process rather than a quick fix, focused on rebuilding strength and self‑compassion. She has five years of clinical experience and engages in regular supervision in line with BACP guidance. Remote sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support

Approaches used online and how they help

Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns. Online EFT sessions help people notice repeated emotional responses and work on safer ways to express needs and connect with others.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for accepting hard feelings while committing to meaningful action. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life change, and translates well to exercises and reflective tasks done between sessions.

Attachment‑based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence present‑day bonds. It can help people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and try different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then tailor methods together. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suits brief check‑ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life or busy schedules while still using the same therapeutic tools.
