About Aamirah

Aamirah Khan is a counsellor with 12 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and trauma and abuse. She also supports clients dealing with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, sleep or eating concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions can include coaching to set clear goals and build everyday skills for a more purposeful life.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Aamirah creates space for people to talk about thoughts and feelings without pressure. She aims to make the room feel practical and calm so conversations lead to clearer choices and small changes.

In sessions she uses approaches that focus on values, current thinking patterns and emotional connections. That can mean helping a person notice what matters to them, learning new ways to manage difficult thoughts, or practising communication skills that reduce conflict at home.

Her background spans individual therapy and coaching work. Over the years she has helped people cope with chronic pain, caregiver stress, control issues, body image and blended family tensions among other concerns. Aamirah draws on her varied experience to tailor the work to each person she sees.

She offers therapy in English and Urdu and sees clients based in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Aamirah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP on her profile.

How Aamirah uses different therapies online

Aamirah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while finding kinder ways to handle painful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying concrete strategies to change behaviours and mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past, and then adapt the methods to fit each person's needs. This makes sessions feel relevant from the start and allows changes over time if something else would help more.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people choose a quieter moment for talking or select a format that needs less bandwidth if internet connections are variable.
