Aamirah Khan helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family tension and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with mood difficulties like depression and bipolar, and people coping with life changes, burnout and compassion fatigue. Aamirah speaks English and Urdu and practises in the United Kingdom.
She works in a warm, non-judgemental way where thoughts and feelings are safe to share. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Background and approach
She uses talking, reflection and simple exercises so people can start making small changes straight away. Aamirah also offers professional coaching to clarify goals and understand thought patterns. Coaching focuses on planning, motivation and steps to live a more purposeful life.
This sits alongside therapeutic work when helpful for a client's situation. Her approach draws on several well-known methods, including cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking and skills from dialectical behaviour approaches. These are mixed to match what a person needs rather than following one fixed method.
With 12 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - Aamirah brings steady support and practical tools. She encourages small, manageable steps and helps people track progress between sessions.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions to build a life that feels meaningful despite hard emotions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and low mood by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then try approaches that suit your situation. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as you go.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you talk face to face, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and chat or messaging can fit around work and busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine and to continue work between sessions.
