Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh offers support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship or intimacy difficulties, grief, addiction and many other concerns. She works with issues such as sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, ADHD, career strain and compassion fatigue. Kam also supports people facing identity and LGBT-related challenges and those coping with trauma and abuse.

Kam meets people where they are and focuses on building a trusting relationship. She listens without judgement and helps clients make sense of difficult feelings. Conversations are practical and grounded, aimed at small changes that make daily life easier.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice to help people understand how early connections shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Therapy can include exploring emotions and meaning to cope with life changes and loss.

Kam has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, or BACP. She offers work in English and Punjabi and has experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds.

Sessions can be arranged to suit personal routines and needs. Kam aims to help people build resilience and clearer choices so they can move forward from a troubling chapter in their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online ways of working

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence present patterns. It helps people notice recurring reactions in relationships and try new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It prioritises listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kam will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where approaches can be blended and adjusted as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help work through emotions. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer to write between sessions or want brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
