About Kamaljit

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and questions about life purpose and career direction. Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi, and she accepts international clients.

Kam uses a mix of relational and integrative approaches. She listens for patterns in how people connect and cope. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between sessions. She explains ideas plainly and encourages small experiments to test different ways of responding to old habits.

Her background includes work with people experiencing low mood, trauma, and abuse, as well as those facing difficult life changes such as homelessness and domestic violence. She has experience working with clients from South Asian communities and with cultural expectations that affect wellbeing. This background informs how she notices cultural and relational pressures in conversation.

In sessions she draws on methods from attachment-based work, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques to address thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns. She also brings coaching and mindfulness practices into the work when helpful. The overall style is steady and practical rather than theoretical.

Practical details are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Kam aims to help people clarify problems and try different ways of moving forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how people form close connections and how past relationship patterns affect present behaviour; online sessions use conversation to spot these patterns and try different ways of relating. Client-centred work focuses on attentive listening and reflective dialogue so people can make sense of their feelings and priorities; this is delivered through direct conversation and structured check-ins. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical experiments and homework to shift routine responses.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods feel most useful based on the client’s goals and preferences. That choice can be revisited as the work progresses so sessions stay relevant to changing needs.

Confirm the current session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during lunch breaks or evenings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited, and keeps continuity when circumstances make in-person meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first appointment.
