About Aamirah
BACP. 12 years' experience. Aamirah Khan works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. She also offers professional coaching to help people clarify goals and understand how their thinking affects daily life.
Aamirah uses straightforward talking therapy. She encourages open discussion of thoughts and feelings in sessions. The focus is on practical steps to manage symptoms and on developing clearer thinking about choices and goals.
Her approach draws on several recognised methods, including cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to settle difficult emotions, and attachment-based thinking to look at relationship patterns. Dialectical behaviour strategies and client-centred listening also inform her work.
People come to her for a wide range of issues beyond anxiety and mood, including sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career problems and coping with life changes. She also works with more specific difficulties such as attachment issues, caregiver stress, body image and blended family challenges.
Aamirah offers sessions in English and Urdu. She works with people located in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Practical goal-setting and coaching techniques are available alongside therapeutic support for those who want them.
How Aamirah uses therapeutic approaches in remote counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early connections to understand current interaction styles and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose modes that suit them practically, such as audio-only if camera time is difficult or a quieter appointment time that fits around work and caregiving.
