Aminah Teague, BACP

Aminah Teague is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience and a BACP accreditation. She supports people who feel constantly wound up, read too much into social interactions, or struggle to trust their own thoughts. Her work often appeals to those facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or major life changes. Aminah writes plainly and listens closely to help people find what already sits inside them. In sessions she aims to make it easier to drop the mask and speak openly about what’s hard. She encourages practical steps to build confidence and cope with day-to-day pressures. Conversations focus on understanding how a person operates and discovering workable ways to respond when old patterns return. Aminah uses approaches that centre the client and that aim for clear, achievable change. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to notice and rethink unhelpful thoughts. Motivational techniques help people move from thought to action when they feel stuck. She also makes room for the body in therapy, noticing how tension shows up and using somatic-informed practices to ease it. Solution-focused ideas help set short-term goals so progress feels tangible and measurable over time. People often come to Aminah for a mix of practical problem-solving and compassionate listening. She works with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, trauma, grief, parenting strains, career crossroads, and midlife transition issues. Getting started is straightforward and guided by a brief matching process.

How Aminah’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. It means the therapist listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the person, which helps with low self-esteem, relationship concerns and feeling overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and introduces practical exercises to make small, manageable changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Aminah will discuss different methods and agree a plan based on a person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time for appointments. It can also allow people to choose sessions that match their energy levels, for example using audio-only when a quieter, less demanding check-in is needed. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking so arrangements suit practical needs and daily routines.
