About Aamirah
Aamirah Khan is a BACP-registered counsellor with 12 years of practical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. She also helps with practical life concerns like career decisions, sleep and eating struggles, anger, low self-esteem and ADHD-related issues.
Her style is calm and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to be a place where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement.
Background and approach
She also offers coaching to help people set clear goals and make decisions that feel purposeful. In therapy she draws on somatic work to bring attention to what the body is telling you. She combines this with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred listening to help you notice thoughts, accept hard feelings, and take actions that match your values.
Cognitive tools are used where helpful to change unhelpful patterns. Aamirah explains ideas simply and focuses on small, practical steps people can use between sessions. She adapts pace and techniques to each person’s needs and preferences.
Many people find this blend useful when coping with life changes, caregiving stress, or trauma recovery. Sessions are offered in English and Urdu and are available online by video, phone, chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Aamirah uses somatic work to help people notice physical sensations linked to emotions and stress. This approach can be useful when symptoms show up in the body, such as tension, breath changes or sleep disruption. It aims to bring awareness to bodily signals so people can respond differently to stress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. ACT supports change by shifting focus from fighting feelings to building a meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early connections affect current relationship patterns and communication, which can help with relationship and family concerns.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments and allow ongoing support between meetings. Many people find the range of formats helps them stay consistent with therapy while tailoring contact to what feels most comfortable.
