About Aminah
Aminah Teague is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with people who feel anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed and supports those navigating stress, relationship worries, parenting strains and life changes.
Aminah often meets clients who read too much into interactions, feel constantly wound up, or struggle to motivate themselves. She describes work that helps people understand how they operate and learn practical ways to cope. Sessions aim to help people feel more confident in managing day-to-day challenges.
Her approach is conversational and straightforward. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try small changes to see what makes a difference. Practical tools and clearer self-understanding are central to her work.
Aminah uses methods from client-centred work and cognitive behavioural approaches alongside solution-focused and somatic ideas. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people shift behaviours they want to change. These methods are used to address issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns and parenting stress.
People contact her when coping strategies that once helped begin to fail, or when persistent worries start to affect daily life. She encourages down-to-earth conversations that aim to make problems easier to manage. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options button.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Aminah blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their feelings. It helps when someone needs space to talk and understand how they respond in relationships.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to build different habits. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and recurrent worries.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support behaviour change. That method helps clarify what matters to the person and increases motivation for practical steps, for example around substance use or lifestyle changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aminah will discuss different methods with clients and decide together what fits their needs and goals. That conversation guides what is tried in sessions and how progress is reviewed.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as formats are not listed in the profile. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy around family and work life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions slot into busy days.
