Aminah Teague, BACP

Aminah Teague is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who experience anxiety learn to understand and work with themselves. She supports clients who find themselves convinced by feelings they know are untrue, who overread interactions with others, or who feel constantly wound up and unmotivated. Aminah draws attention to practical ways of dropping the mask and opening up to people, building confidence in coping with life’s challenges, and gaining clarity on personal patterns so clients know how to work with them.

She recognises how tempting it can be to try to manage alone or to assume that difficulties will simply pass. While symptoms may ease at times and then return, Aminah believes there are understandable reasons for those cycles and that the answers can be discovered within each person. Her work is collaborative, guiding clients to uncover those answers and to develop strategies that fit their lives.

Sessions are offered in a manner that encourages honest, open conversation about whatever is creating imbalance or distress. Aminah understands that contacting a therapist for the first time can feel daunting, and she frames that first step as potentially one of the most valuable moves a person can make for themselves. She holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates alignment with a recognised professional body for counsellors.
