About Kamaljit

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships and codependency. She also supports concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, intimacy, sleeping and eating issues, and career or life changes. Kam works with adults who want to make practical changes and feel more grounded day to day.

Kam approaches sessions with a warm, listening style. She uses client-centred and relational ways of working to prioritise what the person brings to the room. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking to help people understand patterns and try small, manageable changes. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client.

Kam has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. She has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and has provided therapy in English and Punjabi. Her work has included support for those with complex life situations, and she carries learning from ongoing professional development.

In therapy she often blends conversational work with practical exercises. That can mean looking at how thoughts and behaviours link, exploring relationship patterns, and trying simple strategies to reduce overwhelm. The emphasis is on helping the person notice what is getting in the way and testing new ways of coping.

To begin, people usually complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times. The process is presented as collaborative so the focus and pace are set together.

How attachment, client-centred work and CBT translate online

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current trust and connection. Online conversations can help identify those patterns and practise different ways of relating to others and to oneself.

Client-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting what the person brings. Over video or chat this means the counsellor follows the client’s pace, names feelings, and supports the person to make their own sense of difficult experiences.

Cognitive behavioural techniques help spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments. In an online setting this can include simple worksheets, between-session tasks, and checking how new ways of coping are working day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a plan together. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses, with methods adjusted to what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow follow-ups from different locations. It can also support shorter check-ins or written exercises between meetings to keep progress moving.
