About Aminah
Aminah Teague is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice and BACP accreditation. She helps people who feel anxious, wound up or unmotivated to make sense of their thoughts and reactions. Aminah aims to make first steps feel manageable and straightforward for someone worried about reaching out.
Her approach is conversational and down to earth. She encourages people to drop their masks and talk openly about worries that have been building up. Sessions focus on understanding patterns of thinking and behaviour, and on learning practical ways to cope day to day.
Aminah uses a mix of methods that fit the person in front of her. She draws on client-centred listening to hear what matters most, and on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and shift thinking that keeps anxiety going. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set small, realistic goals when change feels hard.
She also pays attention to the body and how stress shows up physically, using somatic-informed work to notice and ease tension. This can be useful when emotions feel stuck or hard to name.
People come to her for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma, parenting strain, career questions and the effects of chronic illness.
If you are thinking about therapy, Aminah asks you to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on her availability. The process is presented as a step-by-step way to find out if she is the right fit for your needs.
How Aminah's approaches work online
Aminah uses client-centred listening to begin work where you are. This approach means the counsellor focuses on what you say, reflects it back and helps you find your own priorities and next steps. It suits people who want a listening space and to make sense of their feelings.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes. This involves noticing patterns, testing out different thoughts and practising new responses, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood over time.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Aminah will discuss your goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That way the approach is tested and adjusted if needed rather than assumed from the start.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking. Online therapy can help fit counselling around work, family and travel, and can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Some people prefer phone check-ins when they have limited internet, while others use video for a fuller face-to-face feel; check the options to see what suits your routine and needs.
