Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh, BACP

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and family concerns, addiction, grief, trauma, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She supports people facing sleep or eating difficulties, anger, career worries, ADHD challenges, and the strain of major life changes. Kam works in both English and Punjabi and accepts international clients.

Kam uses a straightforward, relational style. Sessions focus on what is happening now, how past experiences affect present choices, and practical steps to feel more in control. Conversations are warm and non-judgemental, and she encourages people to notice patterns and try small changes between sessions.

Her background includes five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). That registration reflects meeting the BACP's required standards for practice and ethics. Kam draws on a mix of approaches that include attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused methods, and existential perspectives.

People can expect a calm pace and clear aims in therapy. Some weeks focus on understanding emotions and relationships, while other weeks focus on practical skills for coping with anxiety or changing unhelpful habits. Kam also integrates coaching-style tools when helpful to build confidence and clearer decision making.

Sessions take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits the client's routine.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people feel and relate now. It helps when patterns of closeness or distance cause repeated conflict or emotional pain. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor - listening, reflecting, and helping someone find their own answers rather than giving instructions. This suits people who need a steady, accepting space to talk things through. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is practical and task-focused; it breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful cycles, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleeping difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt techniques to the client's goals and preferences. That collaboration means approaches can change over time as needs evolve and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and styles of communication. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and body language matter. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written check-ins, want frequent brief support, or find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
