About Aamirah

Aamirah Khan works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and offers professional coaching to help people set goals and make clearer decisions. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of professional experience in the UK.

Aamirah uses talking therapy to help people name their thoughts and feelings and to find workable steps forward. Sessions focus on practical techniques and reflective conversation. She aims for honest, direct discussion rather than abstract labels.

Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. That mix supports work on emotion regulation, unhelpful thinking patterns and relationship dynamics. Clients can expect to practise skills between sessions as part of the work.

She also offers coaching to clarify values and set achievable goals for work, routine, or personal projects. Coaching sessions emphasise clear thinking, planning and short-term actions that fit into everyday life.

Aamirah works in English and Urdu and has supported people with a wide range of concerns including sleep and eating issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, bipolar and depression. She also addresses more specific areas such as caregiver stress, body image and blended family issues.

How Aamirah uses therapy approaches in remote sessions

Aamirah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centred principles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and choose actions that fit their values; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build clearer ways of relating to others. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s experience, using open conversation and active listening to help people arrive at their own insights.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try approaches that match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as the work progresses.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find remote counselling easier to fit around work and family because it reduces travel time, allows shorter check-ins, and can make scheduling evening or daytime appointments simpler. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions so the therapeutic work continues between meetings.
