Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh , BACP

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh is an integrative and relational counsellor who supports people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and a wide range of life stresses. She works with adults, adolescents, and older adults from diverse backgrounds, bringing particular experience with clients involved in the criminal justice system and those facing crises such as homelessness or domestic violence. Her practice also includes work with South Asian clients and she offers therapy in both English and Punjabi to better respond to cultural needs.

Kam approaches therapy as a space for exploration and change, emphasising how talk-based work can help heal traumatic pasts, clarify personal values, and address relational patterns. She combines relational perspectives with tools drawn from life coaching, neuro-linguistic programming, Emotional Focus Tapping, mindfulness, and energy work to support clients in rebuilding self-worth, confidence, and practical coping skills. Seeking therapy is framed as an active step toward acceptance of circumstances beyond one’s control and reclaiming inner resources to move forward.

Kam is registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), which means she has met recognized competency and ethical standards for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She continues professional development to refine her practice and tailor interventions to each person’s needs and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kam draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust; this approach helps people address issues like relationship insecurity, abandonment fears, and difficulties forming close bonds. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on meeting clients with empathic understanding and acceptance so they can discover their own goals and solutions at their own pace. In addition, Kam integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kam works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She listens to a client’s concerns, preferences, and goals and adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and continue work between sessions when helpful, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor the mode of contact to each client’s needs.
