About Aminah
Aminah Teague is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage anxiety and related struggles. She holds BACP accreditation, and draws on four years of practice to guide clients through common day-to-day difficulties. Her approach aims to make talking about problems straightforward and manageable for anyone taking the first step.
Aminah focuses on helping people who feel constantly wound up, read too much into interactions, or who convince themselves of things they don't want to believe. She uses simple conversation to help people understand how they operate and find workable ways to cope. Sessions are presented in a calm, non-judgemental manner that invites honesty without pressure.
In therapy she works collaboratively to identify patterns that keep problems going, such as avoidance, unhelpful thinking, or tension held in the body. Techniques come from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, and somatic awareness, adapted to each person's needs. The emphasis is on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Aminah also supports people facing grief, relationship strain, life changes, addiction concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She will help people explore what matters most and set small, realistic goals towards feeling steadier. The aim is greater self-understanding and clearer ways of coping.
Contacting a counsellor for the first time can feel daunting, and Aminah aims to make that step easier. She encourages straightforward conversation about worries and helps people build confidence to handle life’s challenges.

How Aminah’s approaches translate to online work
Aminah often uses client-centred ways of working that focus on listening and responding to each person’s concerns. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what matters most to them.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete tools people can try between sessions. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Aminah will discuss what helps, try techniques collaboratively, and adapt methods to the individual’s goals and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use exercises and grounding practices within their everyday environment, making new skills easier to practise between meetings.
