About Kamaljit

Kamaljit "Kam" Aulakh is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of life and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Punjabi and she accepts international clients.

Kam uses a conversational, relational approach that focuses on feelings and attachment. She helps people name difficult emotions and notice patterns that keep them stuck. Work in sessions often includes exploring how past losses or hurts affect current relationships and self-worth.

Her stated methods include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based approaches, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and existential perspectives. Kam blends these to suit what people bring, using direct talking, reflection and practical steps when helpful. She also draws on coaching and mindfulness tools described in her biography.

Kam has experience supporting people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimate and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, ADHD and career or life-change issues. The profile lists many related areas such as abandonment, body image and caregiver stress, which she can address in individual sessions.

Her BACP registration is noted in the biography. The biography also describes earlier work with people in the criminal justice system and those experiencing homelessness or domestic violence, and emphasises culturally sensitive work with South Asian clients.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and processing core feelings. It is commonly used when people want to understand attachment patterns and the emotions that drive relationship behaviour. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current connections and helps people notice how those patterns turn up today. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-directive, listening-led style. It can help when someone needs time to talk through difficult thoughts and feel heard without pressure. Kam will collaborate with each person to decide which blend of methods fits their aims and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and try methods that suit the client’s needs, checking in and adjusting as progress is reviewed. This is a shared process rather than a fixed plan. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect from different countries if international sessions are appropriate. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions help maintain continuity during life changes, but specifics should be clarified when arranging appointments.
