About Kamaljit
Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people who carry stress, anxiety, depression, relationship or family concerns, and issues such as guilt, shame, addiction, grief and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi and Kam accepts international clients.
Kam uses a relational, integrative approach that draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred principles. In practical terms she listens to what matters to the person and helps them notice patterns in relationships and in thinking. She also uses cognitive tools and emotionally focused techniques when these fit the client's goals.
Her background includes work with adults across different life stages and cultural backgrounds. She has experience supporting people facing crisis, including homelessness and domestic violence, and has worked with people involved in the criminal justice system. That experience shapes a down-to-earth style that pays attention to cultural expectations.
Kam describes therapy as a place to talk through traumatic pasts, to examine how habits of thought keep people stuck, and to work on rebuilding self-worth. Sessions can include talking, reflection and practical exercises drawn from coaching, mindfulness and other methods she has used in practice.
Practical matters follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary with location. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled via the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect present feelings. Online sessions can be used to notice attachment patterns, name repeated reactions, and practise different ways of relating to others. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following what the person brings to the session. In an online meeting this means the therapist reflects what she hears, asks clarifying questions, and helps the client organise thoughts and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with clear steps and exercises. When done online it can include short structured exercises between sessions to test different ways of thinking and behaving. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and then agree a collaborative plan that may draw on attachment ideas, client-centred listening, CBT or emotionally focused techniques. Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life - for example, shorter check-ins at lunch, avoiding travel time, or choosing not to use video if that feels easier. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can offer these flexible arrangements to help therapy fit into everyday routines.Areas of expertise
