About Aamirah
Counsellor and BACP member Aamirah Khan has 12 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties. She also supports people facing trauma, abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu and she accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.
Aamirah combines talking work with coaching skills. She helps people think more clearly about their goals and how their thoughts affect day-to-day life. In sessions she encourages honest reflection and practical steps rather than technical language. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can make life easier.
Her practice draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. These approaches can be used to work on unhelpful thinking, emotional responses and patterns in relationships. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred methods when they suit the person in front of her.
Aamirah has worked across a broad range of concerns including anger, self-esteem, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She will listen to current pressures and help set clear, manageable steps for change. The emphasis is on practical coping and clearer thinking rather than technical labels.
To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Aamirah often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and still act in line with what matters to them. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress and difficulties that come from avoidance of feelings.She also works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focusing on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT is practical and helps with unhelpful thinking, low mood and anxiety by teaching clear strategies to change patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your situation, goals and preferences and they will help agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the work progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time and making it easier to attend shorter check-ins. They can also make it simpler to join from another location, or to choose audio-only work if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, can offer these practical options so therapy fits everyday routines.
