Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam, BACP

Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a counsellor who uses person-centred care to help people feel heard and understood. She combines client-centred listening with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness tools. Sessions typically focus on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Karlie works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and practises from the United Kingdom.

She encourages a straightforward and non-judgemental space where clients can say what they think and feel. Conversations aim to identify patterns that get in the way and to try small changes that make life easier. Mindfulness exercises and CBT-style steps are introduced when they suit the person’s goals.

Karlie has 12 years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her approach and professional practice. She has supported people through depression, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties, and helps with practical issues like sleep, eating and concentration concerns linked to ADHD.

Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, autism spectrum concerns, blended family issues, immigration stress and compassion fatigue. She also helps people manage money worries, isolation and feelings of guilt or shame.

She usually works weekdays between 10:00 and 20:00 UK time but can arrange different times when needed. If a live chat is used she notes she has dyslexia and occasional spelling mistakes may appear; clients are invited to ask for clarification if anything is unclear.

Using client-centred care, CBT and mindfulness online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor reflects what you say and helps you feel accepted while you work out what matters most to you. It is useful when people need a calm space to talk through worries or big life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses short practical steps and experiments to change patterns that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep issues. Mindfulness teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and increase coping in the moment.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will talk with you about your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan to fit what works best. That collaboration helps keep sessions focused on everyday improvements.

Please confirm the exact online session formats that are offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online working can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to continue therapy around work or family commitments. It can also make shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations easier to arrange when needed.
