About Aamirah
Aamirah Khan is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and codependency concerns. She also offers coaching to help clients set goals and think more clearly about everyday choices.
Aamirah keeps language plain in sessions. She helps people talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help. She aims to make the first meetings straightforward and manageable.
Her work draws on several recognised approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and practice new ways of responding to stress or relationship strains. Sessions can include exploring values, noting unhelpful thinking, or practising emotion regulation skills.
Aamirah also blends coaching techniques when clients want help setting short-term goals for work, routine, or wellbeing. This can mean breaking larger aims into small actions and checking progress week to week. The emphasis is on clear, realistic steps rather than abstract advice.
Sessions are offered in English and Urdu. International clients are accepted. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first meeting to see how the approach fits their needs.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Aamirah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then make small choices that reflect what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current reactions and closeness with others, which can help when people feel lost in someone else’s needs or habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work together. She treats this as a collaborative process and will talk through which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences and life circumstances. That conversation can lead to mixing practical CBT skills with ACT or attachment-focused conversations to suit what the client wants to work on.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy week, take a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or avoid travel time. When sessions are held remotely, the focus is on making the work practical - setting small tasks, checking progress and adjusting the plan - so therapy can be balanced alongside everyday responsibilities.
