About Aminah
Aminah Teague is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in practice. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and parenting challenges, among other issues. Aminah speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom.
Aminah explains things simply and focuses on what feels most pressing to the person in front of her. She listens for patterns that keep a person stuck - like reading too much into interactions or convincing themselves of things they do not truly believe. Sessions tend to centre on understanding those patterns and finding practical ways to respond to them.
She uses a range of approaches to help people make sense of their experience. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to test unhelpful thoughts and build different responses. Client-centred methods keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities and perspective. Brief solution-focused work can help with immediate, practical steps.
Aminah also draws on motivational interviewing when someone wants to make a change but feels uncertain. Somatic ideas are available too, for those who notice strong physical responses tied to emotions. These approaches are mixed depending on what a person needs and wants to try.
She invites people to speak plainly about what haunts them - whether that be shame about the past, worries about family, or feeling unable to cope. The early sessions aim to map out what matters most and set clear next steps for moving forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Aminah commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and perspective, allowing them to lead the topics and pace. It helps when someone wants to be listened to and to shape their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a straightforward way and offers practical experiments to test unhelpful thinking patterns.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify ambivalence about change and to find their own reasons for moving forward. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals together and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences.
If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats before booking as these are not listed here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. Discussing session length, frequency and practical arrangements can help match therapy to everyday life without assuming any particular format.
