Aminah Teague , BACP

Aminah Teague is a counsellor who specialises in supporting people living with anxiety and related challenges. She works with clients who find themselves convinced of things they know are untrue, who frequently read into social interactions, or who feel constantly wound up and unmotivated. Drawing on several therapeutic approaches, she helps people develop clearer self-understanding and practical ways to respond to difficult feelings and patterns.

Her work invites clients to let down protective masks and to open up to others at a pace that feels manageable. Aminah aims to help people build confidence in their ability to cope with life’s inevitable changes, and to recognise the strategies that keep problems repeating. She believes the answers are already within each person and offers guidance to help uncover and use them.

Contacting a therapist for the first time can feel daunting, and Aminah acknowledges that beginning therapy is a significant step. She creates a supportive environment for open conversation about any issues causing imbalance, from stress, depression, or trauma to relationship concerns, addictions, and career questions. Aminah holds the credential BACP, which stands for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, indicating professional membership in a UK counselling body.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Aminah frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening with empathy and helping the client explore their own thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and trust in relationships.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool in her practice, used to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. This collaborative style helps clarify motivation and set achievable goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aminah works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - offer flexible ways to engage in the work. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around life commitments and to access support from home or other comfortable settings, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful change.
