About Kamaljit

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of practice and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma, grief and related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi and Kam accepts international clients.

Kam uses a practical, relational style that focuses on what goes on between people and inside thoughts. She pays attention to recurring thinking patterns and to emotional responses that keep problems stuck. Conversations aim to identify clearer steps to try, rather than only talking about feelings.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. That means she will help notice unhelpful thoughts, look at how relationships affect mood, and keep the conversation focused on the client’s priorities. She also uses emotionally-focused and existential ideas when they fit a person’s situation.

Kam has experience working with a wide range of life challenges, including parenting stress, caring responsibilities, body image, addiction and long-term health issues. Her background includes supporting people from South Asian communities and working through language in Punjabi when requested.

She describes her work as practical and relational, combining talking methods with coaching tools and mindfulness practices when helpful. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to follow the site process to begin.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Kam commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working. CBT involves identifying recurring thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy, trust and relationship conflicts. Client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, helping them to decide what matters most and what to try next.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match the concern, and review what is working. Clients can expect adjustments over time so the work stays relevant to their needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone join from a quieter location. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt worksheets, behavioural tasks and conversational work to suit online sessions, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements at the first meeting.
