About Kamaljit

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh is a counsellor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and relationship strain. She works with issues such as self-esteem, grief, addiction, trauma, parenting pressures and many other day-to-day struggles. Kam speaks English and Punjabi and aims to make it easier to talk about painful or confusing feelings.

Her approach is relational and integrative. Sessions focus on what is happening for the person now and how past experiences shape current patterns. Conversations are straightforward and aim to build clarity about what is getting in the way of feeling better. She encourages practical steps you can try between sessions.

Kam is registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, known as BACP, and draws on five years of recent counselling experience. She has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and with a range of complex life situations. That experience informs a flexible way of working rather than a single formula.

Therapy may include talking about attachment and relationships, using client-centred listening to reflect what matters to you, and drawing on cognitive behavioural ideas to notice unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses emotionally-focused methods to work with relationship pain and existential ideas when people face big life questions.

Her aim is to help people notice small changes that make life more manageable, to restore a sense of agency, and to support better sleep and day-to-day functioning where that is a concern. If you are unsure where to begin, she invites you to take the first step and explore what might change.

How therapeutic approaches can work online

Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape current trust and closeness. Online sessions can help people notice relational patterns and try new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and reflecting what matters to the person; this helps when someone needs space to make sense of emotions and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and supports practical tools for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods feel most suitable based on needs, goals and personal preference. That decision can change over time as the work progresses and as practical concerns become clearer.

Confirm the session options with the service before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people continue work when life circumstances make in-person appointments difficult. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss how to tailor sessions so they fit into everyday routines and meet personal goals.
