Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam , BACP

Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a UK-licensed therapist with 11 years of professional experience who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, low motivation, low self-esteem and confidence, depression, and life transitions. She aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and work toward clearer goals and more balanced wellbeing.

As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she draws on established therapeutic methods to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Taking the step to seek a more fulfilling and happier life can feel daunting, and she approaches that step with empathy and steady support.

Her usual working hours are 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday to Friday UK time, though she is willing to arrange alternative times when required. She also notes that she has dyslexia, which may lead to occasional spelling mistakes during live chat sessions; clients are invited to flag any parts that are unclear so she can clarify them.

Therapeutic approaches available through online sessions

Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship where the client leads the pace and direction of change - it is useful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical strategies and homework between sessions - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may use one approach or combine elements from several, depending on what works best.

Online therapy lets clients connect by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without needing to travel, and they allow therapists to adapt session format to the client’s practical needs.
