About Aamirah
Aamirah Khan is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also offers coaching that helps clients set goals and understand how their mind affects choices.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now and learning practical ways to respond differently. She uses a mix of psychological methods to help people manage strong feelings, difficult reactions and recurring patterns.
Aamirah draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills can be used for distress tolerance and emotional regulation when needed.
She describes coaching as a way to clarify values and set realistic steps toward a more purposeful life. Work may include simple behavioural experiments, values-based actions, emotion regulation skills and reflective conversation. Sessions aim to make changes that fit everyday life and take the pressure off being perfect.
Sessions are offered in English and Urdu. Aamirah accepts international clients and supports people with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, ADHD, sleeping and eating difficulties, career stress and caregiver strain.
How sessions work
How Aamirah uses therapy approaches online
Aamirah often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) online. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-based steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anger that builds because of stuck rules or avoidance.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in remote sessions. CBT works by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments. That method is useful for stress, anxiety, mood problems and for reducing reactive behaviour.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, current struggles and personal preferences in the first sessions. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking. Session formats are not listed here by default, so check which are offered at sign-up. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or sessions that do not require travel. It can also allow work to continue across time zones for international clients and support consistent practice between meetings.
