About Cheuk

Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a BACP-registered counsellor who focuses on practical, client-led work. She aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing life transitions, addiction concerns, and money and financial issues.

Karlie keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She builds space for honest conversation and helps clients talk through difficult feelings without judgement. She notes she has dyslexia and may make occasional spelling errors during live chat; clients are encouraged to ask when anything is unclear.

With 12 years of experience, Karlie draws on approaches that centre the person and their goals. She uses Client-Centred techniques to follow what matters most to each client. She also brings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of change.

Mindfulness tools are another part of her offer, used to help with worries, low mood and stress. In practical terms this might mean short exercises or attention practices to try between sessions. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Karlie works in the United Kingdom and speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese. She typically works weekdays and is willing to arrange different times when needed. To begin, people use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person says. The counsellor concentrates on understanding the client's concerns and following their lead in sessions, which can help with self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. Small practical tasks and thought exercises are used to tackle anxiety, low mood and impulsivity. These techniques often include simple steps to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy brings short attention and breathing practices into everyday routines. These exercises can reduce stress and improve sleep and concentration when practised regularly.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as the relationship develops in sessions.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when time is tight. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can suit quieter surroundings or shorter appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical scheduling and format choices when you start.
