About Aamirah
Aamirah Khan is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. She also offers professional coaching to help people set clearer goals and make practical changes. She speaks English and Urdu and brings 12 years of experience to her work.
Aamirah aims to make the therapy space feel calm and non-judgemental.
Background and approach
She encourages straightforward conversation about thoughts and feelings so people can make sense of what is happening for them. She will listen and reflect back so clients can see patterns and choices more clearly. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods.
She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and small behaviour changes to test new ways of coping. She also works with acceptance and commitment ideas to help people name their values and take steps towards them. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and family dynamics.
She offers elements of dialectical behaviour methods for emotion regulation and practical skills when emotions feel overwhelming. A client-centred stance underpins these methods, keeping the person's perspective central. Aamirah works with people on a range of concerns from eating and sleeping problems to anger, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
She is available to people both in the UK and internationally and uses formats that suit modern life, including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.

Using practical therapies online
Aamirah draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and take small meaningful steps. CBT focuses on identifying thinking and behaviour patterns and trying new experiments to see what helps. ACT encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to act in line with those values while making room for difficult feelings.She treats therapy as a collaborative process. Finding the right mix of approaches usually happens together in early sessions, and she tailors the work to each person's needs, goals and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well when visual connection helps the conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or messaging is useful for brief reflections or when clients prefer not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and different time zones while keeping the focus on practical, usable skills.
