About Kamaljit

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship trouble and issues like codependency, low self-esteem, grief and trauma. Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi, and she accepts international clients.

Kam uses a straightforward, relational approach. She listens to how daily pressures and other people's expectations leave someone exhausted and unable to put their own needs first. In sessions she helps people name patterns, notice how relationships affect mood, and practise small changes that can make everyday life easier.

Her background includes work with people facing low mood, depression and anxiety. She has experience supporting those affected by trauma, addiction and relationship breakdown. Kam has also worked with clients from South Asian communities and brings awareness of cultural pressures into conversations where that is relevant.

Therapeutic tools come from approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In plain terms this means looking at how early connections shape current relationships, focusing the work around the person in front of her, and using practical strategies to shift troubling thoughts and behaviours.

Kam asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. If someone needs sessions in Punjabi she can work in that language as well as English.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence how someone connects now. Online work using this approach helps people notice patterns of closeness and distance in their current relationships and practise different ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and pacing. In online sessions this can mean longer opportunity to speak, reflect and have the therapist follow the person's lead rather than imposing a strict agenda.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Used online, it often involves setting small tasks between sessions and reviewing how those steps felt and what changed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That choice can shift as the work progresses, and the client helps steer what feels most useful.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can still use the same therapeutic tools over video or phone, while adapting practical tasks to suit how a person prefers to meet.
