About Aminah

Aminah Teague works on anxiety, stress, relationships and self-esteem using client-centred ways of working and practical therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience as a counsellor.

Aminah listens to what is happening now and helps people notice the patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on understanding thoughts and feelings, and on practical steps to change unhelpful habits. She uses elements of CBT to look at thinking patterns, and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to support decisions about change, and somatic approaches when the body holds stress or strong emotion. That mix lets her work with issues ranging from grief and trauma to relationship concerns and addiction problems. The emphasis is on clear, manageable strategies rather than abstract theory.

Aminah helps people who struggle with reading social cues, attachment worries or difficulties following illness or caring roles. She also supports those coping with separation, abandonment or long-term health challenges. Sessions aim to build more reliable ways of coping and clearer communication with others.

Practical matters are part of the work. She will help set realistic steps between sessions and review progress regularly. To begin, clients are asked to use the online matching process and schedule a first appointment so they can discuss goals and the best way to proceed.

How Aminah uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Aminah uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and some relationship issues. Client-Centred Therapy is also central to her work and focuses on listening carefully and helping people explore what matters to them at their own pace. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who are weighing up change, helping them clarify reasons for change and build commitment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different techniques and agree what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process where methods are chosen to match the person's needs, preferences and practical aims.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work around changes such as moving house or changing jobs, while keeping the focus on clear steps and progress.
