Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh, BACP

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh welcomes people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, bereavement and the particular challenges of midlife. She also supports those facing addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD and issues with self-esteem. Kam works in English and Punjabi and acknowledges how culture and life stage shape what someone brings to therapy.

Kam describes her way of working as relational and person-focused. Sessions aim to slow down overwhelming thoughts and help people name what matters to them. She uses talking, reflective exercises and practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns and strengthen coping. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes five years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). Kam has experience supporting adults from diverse backgrounds and has worked with people affected by crises such as homelessness and domestic violence. She uses elements from several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs.

In sessions she offers a calm space to explore difficult feelings without judgement. People can expect a steady, curious presence and a focus on building understanding, self-compassion and clearer choices. Practical strategies are introduced when useful, alongside conversational work about meaning, relationships and life direction.

If someone is unsure where to begin, Kam invites a simple first step of describing what feels hardest right now. From there she and the client shape goals and a plan that suit daily life and long-term changes.

How Kam uses different approaches in online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence feelings and trust. This approach can help when anxiety, attachment issues or commitment concerns affect current relationships.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own pace and answers, useful for low mood, self-esteem and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce overthinking and anxious cycles. It suits people who want structured tools alongside reflective conversation.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. Kam will discuss these options with each person and adapt how she works to match goals, values and day-to-day life. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as needs evolve.

Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered as the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also allow sessions in a language such as Punjabi when that is preferred.
