About Kamlesh
Counsellor and NCPS member with four years of experience, Kamlesh Chand supports people in the United Kingdom who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also works with LGBT clients and helps with related concerns. She speaks English and accepts international clients.
Kamlesh uses a person-centred approach that treats people as the experts on their own lives. She listens for strengths and helps clients draw on those strengths to manage problems. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of jargon.
She mixes approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to handle symptoms like anxiety and low mood. That can mean looking at unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioural changes, and using breathing and grounding practices in session.
Psychodynamic ideas also inform her work, especially where past relationships and attachment issues affect current problems. She pays attention to patterns that repeat and helps clients notice them so different choices can be made.
Kamlesh has experience addressing a wide range of concerns beyond the main themes above. These include family of origin issues, communication problems, body image, hoarding, domestic violence, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and coping with disasters. She asks straightforward questions about what people want from counselling and works with them to set clear goals.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches guide online counselling
Kamlesh commonly uses client-centred counselling, which focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client’s lead. This approach aims to help people feel heard and to build on their own strengths while they work through problems.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT methods can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because they offer clear steps and small tasks to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and how problems show up day to day. Then she and the client choose which methods to try and review progress as they go.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered. Please confirm the available online session types before booking. Online counselling can help fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, make shorter check-ins easier, or allow sessions from a quieter room. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer these practical advantages when working remotely.
