About Cheuk
Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, and issues around guilt and shame.
Karlie uses a straightforward style that focuses on listening and practical steps. Sessions are a place to talk through specific problems and try different ways of responding. She draws on client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person, and on cognitive behavioural ideas to notice unhelpful patterns and test small changes.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with day-to-day stress and grounding. Conversations often include short exercises or reflections people can use between meetings. She is aware of how family history, adoption, or immigration experiences can sit behind current feelings.
Karlie speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese. She notes she has dyslexia and may make occasional spelling errors in live chat; she encourages people to ask for clarification if something is unclear. Her approach is practical and plain, aimed at helping someone burdened by guilt or shame get clearer about next steps.
Sessions are arranged around typical daytime and early evening UK hours, and she is willing to discuss different times when needed. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they fit daily life
Karlie uses client-centred work to prioritise the concerns that matter most to the person. That approach means sessions begin with open listening and focus on the issues the client brings, such as guilt tied to relationships or past choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain worry, shame or low mood. In practice this means identifying small experiments and different ways of responding that can be tried between meetings.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress, sleep and grounding. These are simple exercises people can use during busy days to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day routines and then agree a practical plan together. That way the methods fit the person rather than the other way around.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as these are not specified here. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel for appointments. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions make it easier to keep momentum while balancing everyday responsibilities.
