Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Aamirah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and challenges that arise during life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns formed in close relationships and how they influence current interactions and emotional responses. This approach can support work on relationship difficulties, family conflict, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related issues.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, making it helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and everyday coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aamirah works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align best with their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as the work evolves.
Online therapy with Aamirah is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across distances, and engage in therapy in ways that suit different communication styles.
