Aminah Teague
Welcome to Teague Therapy
Hi, I'm Aminah Teague, the counsellor behind Teague Therapy. My mission is to provide a therapeutic environment where you feel genuinely heard and understood while also being gently challenged to make meaningful changes in your life.
My Approach
My approach is primarily person-centred, which means I create a supportive and empathetic environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. However, my training as an integrative therapist allows me to adapt and draw from various therapeutic techniques to best meet your unique needs.
Integrative Therapy
As an integrative therapist, I often combine several therapeutic approaches to provide the most effective support for my clients. These approaches include (but are not limited to):
Systemic Therapy
Where do we pick up so many parts of our reactions? In our families and relationships. Systemic Therapy helps us understand the complexities of your relationships and the impact of family dynamics on your emotional well-being.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT):
CBT helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours, promoting healthier thinking and actions.
Solution-Focused Therapy:
This method encourages you to focus on your strengths and resources, guiding you towards finding practical solutions to your current challenges.
Specialisms
Anxiety
Do you find yourself excessively worrying? Feeling constantly on edge? Always overly aware of your surroundings?
It can be so tempting to continue plodding onward on your own. After all, it will pass, right? Let's work together to find out why these feelings keep plaguing you.
The answers are in you, and together, we can learn to work with rather than against yourself.
Intercultural Therapy
As a practitioner well-versed in diverse cultures, I value individualism while acknowledging the cultural norms that made you (and sometimes plague you). Together, we dismantle oppressive undertones and empower you to speak up. Conventional therapy often overlooks cultural distinctions.
As an intercultural therapist, I embody a metaphorical chameleon, bringing knowledge, open-mindedness, and genuine acceptance of differences. Trust is central to my approach, and I continuously reflect on personal biases to support individuals from diverse backgrounds.
I trained in Intercultural Therapy with Mabadiliko Intercultural Therapy and am completing further training with The Anti-Discrimination Focus in 2024.
Couples Therapy
Are you finding yourself stuck in a cycle of repetitive arguments with your partner? Are you both struggling to be heard, and have you stopped working together?
I am here as an impartial ear to provide a safe space for you to openly share and reflect on your relationship. Together, we'll cultivate a deeper understanding of yourselves. Let's work together to bring back joy, intimacy, and empathy.
Please note that I am an LGBTQ+ affirming counsellor. I'm here for all types of relationships, supporting any gender, sexual, or relationship. Whether you need therapy for siblings, parents, adult children, business partners, or any group seeking resolution, I'm here to provide warm and welcoming support.
