Aminah Teague, BACP

Aminah Teague is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works with people who are anxious or feeling overwhelmed by stress, relationships, low self-esteem, depression and other life changes. Sessions focus on understanding how thoughts and habits keep problems going and learning practical ways to respond differently.

She aims to help clients notice thought patterns that cause worry and to test out new behaviours. Conversations are direct and focused on what is happening now and what can change. She uses approaches that encourage practical steps and reflection rather than lengthy theory discussions.

Aminah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop clearer ways of responding. She also uses client-centred methods to make space for people to lead what matters most to them. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas help with making changes and setting short-term goals.

She supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, parenting strain, career stress and chronic health challenges. Other focus areas include attachment issues, body image, codependency and coping with separation or divorce. Sessions work through immediate problems and also aim to build practical coping tools.

People are invited to be straightforward about the problems that feel most urgent. The first meetings tend to map current difficulties and set clear, manageable steps. Later sessions check progress and adjust the approach based on what helps.
