About Cheuk
Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and difficulties coping with life changes. Her language skills include English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
Karlie keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She encourages people to talk about worries and everyday pressures. She helps clients notice patterns of thinking and behaviour that make problems worse and then tries small steps to change them.
Her work draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. That means she listens first, then offers exercises and ways of thinking that can reduce anxious thoughts and improve mood. Mindfulness methods are used to build simple ways to manage stress and stay present.
She also addresses a wide range of life issues such as relationship and family problems, grief, trauma and caregiving stress. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, autism and blended family issues, immigration-related stress and financial worries. She can talk about intimacy, eating and sleeping concerns as well.
Karlie notes she has dyslexia and may make spelling errors during live chat; she asks clients to flag any unclear points. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then arrange a first session through the online options button.
How Karlie uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel heard. This approach helps people who are unsure where to start or who need time to talk through worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices to notice the present moment and reduce reactivity to anxious thoughts.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which techniques to try first. That collaborative planning makes it easier to pick approaches that fit daily life.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins without travel and offer options that suit different needs such as shorter or longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices so they work during remote sessions.
