Aminah Teague, BACP

Aminah Teague is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and major life changes. With a practical, empathetic approach, she works with individuals to help them understand how their thoughts, patterns, and past experiences shape their emotional responses. Holding BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors in the UK - she combines professional training with a warm, approachable style.

Aminah helps clients who find themselves replaying interactions, convincing themselves of things they do not fully believe, or feeling constantly wound up and unmotivated. She aims to help people drop the masks they wear, explore the root of their struggles, and build confidence in their ability to cope with whatever life brings. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns, including stress, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting and career issues, as well as complex needs such as attachment difficulties, autism spectrum conditions, and bipolar disorder.

Contacting a therapist for the first time can feel daunting, and Aminah offers a collaborative space where clients are invited to explore their experiences at a comfortable pace. She works to help each person uncover strengths and practical ways to manage challenges so they can move toward greater balance and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy works

Aminah draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client’s experience guides the work. This approach helps people explore their feelings and values at their own pace and is especially helpful for those who need acceptance and support while making sense of personal struggles.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that examines how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. CBT offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and change unhelpful patterns by developing new coping skills.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool Aminah employs to support change when ambivalence gets in the way. This collaborative, strengths-based approach helps people identify their own reasons for change and build commitment to achievable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Aminah works collaboratively with each person to determine what best meets their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors the mix of methods based on what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Aminah is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the format that best supports progress.
