Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam, BACP

Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a counsellor who focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape mood and behaviour. She uses straightforward conversation to help people who feel stuck by anxiety, low confidence, stress or changes in life. Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. She is registered with BACP, and brings 12 years of professional experience in the UK.

Karlie creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about worries and practical day-to-day struggles. She helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and small routine changes that can improve how they feel. Conversations often cover sleep, eating, motivation, relationships and work-life balance.

Her practice draws on client-centred ideas that keep the person’s priorities central. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift thinking that gets in the way. Mindfulness-based approaches are used to build awareness of thoughts and bodily reactions.

Karlie notes she has dyslexia and may make occasional spelling mistakes during live chat; she invites clients to ask for clarification if anything is unclear. She normally works 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday to Friday UK time, and can arrange different times when required.

Clients tell her taking the first step can be difficult, and she emphasises practical next steps. To begin, people follow the site’s matching process and schedule a session according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The counsellor follows the client’s priorities and helps them feel heard, which can make it easier to talk about daily stresses and family concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try simple behavioural changes to improve mood, sleep and motivation.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without rushing to react. This can help reduce rumination and make it simpler to manage anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the client to choose strategies that match their needs, goals and preferences, and to adjust those strategies over time if something does not fit.

Session formats are not specified in the provided profile, so please confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these advantages to help people maintain therapy as part of everyday life without promising a particular service.
