Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam, BACP

Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a counsellor who uses client-centred, cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She communicates in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

Her work often focuses on everyday pressures such as motivation, self‑esteem and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing ADHD, addictions, relationship and family related concerns, trauma and grief. Sessions look at practical steps as well as what matters to you personally.

Karlie creates a non‑judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She encourages people to set clear goals and to use simple strategies between sessions. Her style is direct but warm, with an emphasis on small, steady changes.

She has 12 years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Sessions are arranged within daytime and early evening hours, and she can be flexible with timings when needed.

Karlie also notes she has dyslexia, so brief spelling errors can appear during live chat and she asks people to flag anything that is unclear. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client‑centred therapy focuses on understanding your perspective and prioritising your goals. The counsellor listens with curiosity and helps you clarify what matters most, which is useful for stress, low mood and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It often includes simple homework and step‑by‑step techniques for anxiety, mood issues and impulsivity.

Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to pay attention to the present moment without harsh judgement. It can help with rumination, stress and improving concentration over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan that fits you. This is a collaborative process and can change as you learn what helps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow appointments during the day or early evening. The exact session formats available are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits include shorter check‑ins when needed and flexibility to schedule around work or caregiving commitments.
