Aminah Teague
Compassionate counsellor for anxiety and change
About Aminah
Aminah Teague is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice and a BACP accreditation. She focuses on helping people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at making difficult feelings easier to talk about and understand.
She works in short, clear sessions that centre on what matters to the person in front of her. Conversations aim to help people spot unhelpful patterns, try small practical changes, and build ways to cope that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Sessions are calm and paced to the client's needs. Aminah draws on several approaches to tailor work to each person. She uses client-centred ways to make people feel heard, cognitive behavioural ideas to change unhelpful thoughts, and solution-focused methods to set realistic goals.
Somatic techniques can be used when stress shows up in the body. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting and career issues. She also addresses specific concerns such as attachment problems, body image, chronic illness and codependency.
These topics are worked through one step at a time. Contacting a counsellor for the first time can feel worrying. Aminah aims to make the first steps simple and respectful.
She helps clients decide what to try next and supports them as they put changes into practice.

How Aminah's approaches translate to online therapy
Aminah uses client-centred work to make people feel heard and respected. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and letting them lead the pace and topics of conversation. It helps with feeling overwhelmed, low self-worth and relationship worries.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT sessions commonly involve practical exercises and simple experiments to try between appointments, which adapt well to remote formats. Motivational Interviewing is another method she uses to help people find their own reasons to change, useful for addiction or when someone feels stuck.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences, and may combine ways of working as things develop. This is discussed openly and adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or low bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit ongoing check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or mobility needs and help maintain continuity of care when life is busy.
