She holds the NCPS credential, a professional registration that reflects her training and standing in the field. Hadija has experience supporting clients from age 16 through 84, offering help with a broad range of concerns including relationship and marriage difficulties, childhood trauma, abuse relating to narcissistic and borderline personality patterns, intimacy challenges, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and anger management.

Her practice also addresses grief and bereavement, loneliness, guilt and shame, suicidal thoughts and ideation, loss, phobias, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and family problems, self-esteem and career issues, and neurodiverse presentations such as ADHD and bipolar-related coping. She brings particular attention to attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, and difficulties around commitment and forgiveness.

As an integrative therapist, Hadija draws on a varied toolbox to meet each person where they are. She uses person-centered methods, transactional analysis, psychodynamic techniques, The Chair work, coordinative behaviour approaches, and Imago dialogue among other tools to help clients move toward their goals. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored, and she supports clients through the often courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Hadija commonly works with attachment-based and client-centered approaches, and she also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques when helpful. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they relate to others, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment, and relationship issues. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, offering empathetic listening and reflection so clients feel heard and supported while they explore their concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop new, adaptive ways of coping with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Hadija collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change. Registered professionals like Hadija adapt their approaches to these formats to keep sessions focused and effective.
