About Aminah
Aminah Teague is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people who feel anxious, stuck, or unsure about themselves. She works with clients to understand how their thoughts and habits affect daily life and to find clearer ways to move forward. Aminah holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her practice and professional standards.
Her approach is straightforward and rooted in listening. She aims to create a calm space where people can be honest about worries such as persistent anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, or problems with motivation. Sessions concentrate on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) are part of her toolkit. She also draws on client-centred and solution-focused methods to help people notice small shifts that build confidence. Somatic techniques are used when physical tension and stress patterns are getting in the way of coping.
Aminah has four years of experience and supports issues ranging from addiction and trauma to parenting stress and career concerns. She works with people dealing with grief, chronic health challenges, or attachment and communication difficulties. The focus is on helping each person recognise their own strengths and make realistic changes.
Contacting a counsellor can feel daunting, so Aminah aims to make the first steps clear and manageable. She asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions in line with availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Aminah draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings and find their own reasons to change. This approach uses open conversation and gentle questions to boost motivation and clarify what matters most.
She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the person and their experience. That means sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people feel heard while they work out solutions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and test unhelpful thought patterns, and to try small practical experiments that can reduce anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest ways of working to suit those aims. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, to have a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or to avoid travel time. They also allow for video or phone arrangements that match comfort with being on camera and with technology needs. -
