About Kamaljit

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh welcomes people who are struggling with persistent worries, low mood, relationship strain, or difficulties in daily habits and thinking. She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, grief, parenting pressures, sleep and eating problems, and challenges linked to identity and intimacy. Kam believes taking the first step to talk about these problems matters more than any label.

Kam offers a calm, conversational style that focuses on the person rather than a set procedure. She describes herself as an integrative and relational counsellor and combines approaches to suit each person's situation. Sessions aim to make everyday thinking and habits clearer so practical changes can follow.

Her practice includes attention to attachment patterns and relational difficulties that affect how people connect and trust. Cognitive-behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test small changes. Emotionally-focused work helps when feelings and closeness in relationships are central to the problem.

Kam has five years of experience in counselling roles and is registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and has carried out therapy in Punjabi as well as English.

She also draws on coaching, neuro-linguistic programming, mindfulness, and other practices to support confidence and self-worth. If someone needs help sorting thoughts and everyday habits that feel overwhelming, Kam focuses on practical steps and steady conversation to move forward.

How her approaches can work online and in practice

Kam uses Attachment-Based ideas to help people notice patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current trust and closeness. This approach can help when problems centre on feeling disconnected, overly anxious around partners, or unsure how to ask for support.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which gives space for people to be heard without pressure. That style helps when someone needs time to make sense of emotions and build confidence at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in daily habits. CBT techniques can be useful for reducing overwhelming thinking, improving sleep patterns, and changing reactions that keep problems going.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kam will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods feel most useful. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, and allow flexible scheduling around work or family commitments. Some formats may also make shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations simpler when that suits practical needs.
