About Kamaljit
Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh offers support for parents and individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, grief, addiction and parenting concerns. She understands how overwhelming day-to-day life can feel when thoughts and emotions take over. Kam writes plainly and listens closely so people can talk through what matters most to them.
She speaks English and Punjabi and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. Kam works from a relational and integrative standpoint, drawing on approaches that focus on attachment and the here-and-now of feelings.
Background and approach
She aims to help people notice patterns in relationships and in their thinking. Sessions often explore how past experiences shape current reactions and what small changes might lessen distress. Her background includes five years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy - BACP.
Kam has experience supporting people through low mood, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She also has worked with those who have faced homelessness, domestic violence and contact with the criminal justice system. In sessions Kam uses practical tools alongside talking work.
That can include exercises to reframe unhelpful thoughts, ways to build emotional awareness, and steps to improve communication. She also integrates elements from coaching and mindfulness when helpful. People meet Kam for short-term focused work or for deeper, longer conversations.
She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where parents and individuals can explore options and build clearer steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy options
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships influence feelings and behaviour. In simple terms it looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand why they react the way they do, which can be useful for parenting and relationship concerns.Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is heard, and helps people find their own answers and strengths for coping with stress or life changes.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is practical and action-focused, often using short exercises between sessions to test new ways of thinking and acting.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kam will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions can blend elements from different approaches so the plan fits the individual's needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around parenting duties, work and daily life, and to keep momentum between meetings.
