About Kamaljit

Counsellor Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh is a BACP member with five years' experience working with stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English and Punjabi and offers support for a wide range of issues including addiction, trauma, grief, anger and parenting challenges. Kam works in the United Kingdom and with international clients.

Kam writes plainly about how thoughts and feelings can limit day-to-day life. She asks people to bring what is present right now and to notice patterns that keep repeating. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people think differently about difficult situations and make manageable changes.

Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. This means she pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current feelings, while also working on practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Kam also uses elements of emotionally-focused work and existential thinking when they fit a person's needs. Those approaches can help when intimacy, meaning or big life decisions are at issue. She draws on these methods to support clearer thinking about relationships and personal values.

Kam has experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds and has worked with those facing housing instability and domestic violence. She also uses tools from coaching and mindfulness in sessions when appropriate. Before booking, people should confirm the current session formats that Kam offers.

Therapeutic approaches used for online counselling

Kam draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early or important relationships affect current feelings and patterns, which can help with trust, intimacy and repeated conflicts. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in thinking and behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also uses client-centred methods that prioritise listening and helping a person make sense of their own experience. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kam will discuss options with each person and decide together what methods suit their needs, goals and preferences.

Confirm the exact session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, commonly adapt exercises such as CBT worksheets or attachment-focused conversation to an online setting to keep sessions practical and focused.
