About Kamaljit

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship problems, trauma, or issues with self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, addictions, sleeping or eating concerns, parenting strain, ADHD and career or life changes. Kam works in a calm and straightforward way to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed take the next practical step.

Kam uses an integrative, relational approach that focuses on what matters to each person. She listens first and helps clients put words to painful experiences. From there she works with people to try small changes in thinking, feeling and behaviour that can build relief over time.

Her practice draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods that centre the person’s own priorities, and cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking. These methods are adapted to each person’s situation and goals.

Kam holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy. She also offers therapy in English and Punjabi and has experience supporting people from South Asian backgrounds.

She has five years’ experience working with a wide range of concerns and continues professional development to expand her skills. Kam invites people to start by sharing what matters most and then agrees practical next steps together.

How Kam’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they show up now. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns in how they relate to others, and practise different ways of connecting or setting boundaries.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and uses empathic listening. In an online setting this means the counsellor follows the client’s agenda, helps them name what matters, and supports them to try changes that fit their life.

Cognitive behavioural ideas help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours to reduce distress. Used online, these techniques often include agreed tasks between sessions and step-by-step plans to try at home or work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kam will discuss options with each person and agree what seems most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy around work and family life, reduces travel time and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. Talk with Kam about practical arrangements so sessions can suit daily routines and responsibilities.
