About Kamaljit

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with young adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi, and Kam accepts international clients.

Kam uses a relational, client-focused way of working that aims to help people talk through painful thoughts and habits. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural methods are used when practical steps and thought patterns need attention.

Her approach is conversational and direct. People can expect to discuss recent problems, current reactions, and small steps to try between sessions. Kam also brings existential questions into the work when life direction, meaning or identity feels unclear.

Kam has experience supporting people with trauma, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping issues, and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and ADHD. She has worked with clients from South Asian backgrounds and uses Punjabi when helpful.

Clients are invited to name their priorities and set short-term goals. The focus can shift from managing symptoms to improving relationships or finding clearer life choices. Kam also integrates coaching techniques when practical planning is needed.

Sessions are structured around the client's needs and can include discussion, skill-building and reflective work. Pricing varies with location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Kam uses therapeutic approaches online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online conversations can map these patterns and help clients try new ways of relating to others and themselves. Client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to the client's experience without imposing a set agenda. In remote sessions this tends to mean reflective conversation, gentle questioning and following what the client brings each week. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Online sessions can include structured exercises, thought records and in-session planning of small experiments to try between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Kam will discuss options together and decide what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative planning can shift over time as priorities change. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into study or work schedules and reducing travel time. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since this profile does not list them. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them attend from quieter surroundings without travelling.
