Aminah Teague, BACP

Aminah Teague is a counsellor with four years' experience working with people who feel anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice patterns, understand how they operate, and find practical ways to cope. Aminah aims to make first contact less daunting and to create a calm space for honest talk.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens without judgement and helps people name what they are feeling. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Aminah draws on approaches such as client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people shift unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and somatic methods to notice how the body holds stress.

Typical concerns she supports include anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also works with relationship issues, grief, trauma and addiction-related problems, and offers coaching around career and parenting pressures.

People often come to Aminah when they want clearer ways to manage emotions, improve communication, or stop old patterns from repeating. She helps clients identify practical strategies and checks in on what is actually working. Sessions are conversational and aim to leave people feeling more capable and understood.

How chosen approaches translate to online work

Aminah commonly uses client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can discover their own solutions; it helps with low mood, anxiety and relationship worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and gives practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Aminah will discuss your goals and preferences and try different methods to see what helps most. That collaborative process means the plan can change as you learn what works for you.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm which session types are available before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find it helpful to carry over practical exercises into their routine between sessions, which the therapist can support regardless of how you meet.
