Aamirah Khan , BACP

Aamirah Khan is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family issues, and recover from trauma and abuse. She also supports clients with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and with life changes, career questions, sleep and eating difficulties. Aamirah works with a coaching mindset when clients want clearer goals and direction.

Aamirah uses a calm, non-judgemental manner so people can speak openly about thoughts and feelings. She draws on counselling approaches that focus on values, patterns of attachment, and practical skills to manage distress. Sessions are intended to be collaborative - she listens first and then works with the person to try different ways of coping.

Her practice includes helping with anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, body image concerns, caregiver stress and blended family challenges. Aamirah pays attention to how early relationships affect current patterns and responses.

Aamirah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and Urdu and accepts international clients. Work is offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging depending on what suits the person.

Starting therapy with Aamirah usually begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions to fit the client's schedule. She aims to make the first steps straightforward and respectful.

How Aamirah adapts talking therapy to online formats

Aamirah draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and act in ways that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes when someone wants clearer direction.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and communication problems by identifying repeating dynamics and trying new ways of relating.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try techniques from different models as needed. The process is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy with Aamirah is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options are chosen to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
