About Kam

Kam Leihal is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She works with relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and career issues. Kam also focuses on attachment, abandonment, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency and related topics.

Kam uses a collaborative, person-centred way of working. Sessions are paced to what the client can manage. Conversations often look at how past relationships shape current patterns, and how small changes can shift how someone responds in stressful moments.

Her background includes work across mental health, education and community settings. That experience informs practical conversations about everyday pressures like work, parenting and family roles. Kam sometimes uses creative methods and elements from family systems practice when they are helpful.

In sessions she listens for recurring patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting lost in other people’s needs. The focus is on identifying those patterns and testing different ways of responding, step by step.

Clients are invited to reflect on values, meaning and relationships. Kam draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred conversation and elements of Jungian and existential thought to explore identity and purpose. Mindfulness practices are offered when they suit the person’s goals.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can look at how those attachment patterns affect closeness, boundaries and responses to stress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and reflection. In this approach the counsellor follows the client’s pace and helps them find their own answers without directing them.

The choice of approach is part of the work. Kam will help clients and counsellors together consider goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That collaborative planning can include trying different methods and adjusting as needs change.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping regular contact without travel. If you need to check in more often or book short sessions around work or childcare, discuss those options when you schedule. Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking to know which formats are possible.
