Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam
Client-centred counsellor for everyday challenges
About Cheuk
Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam works from a client-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She is a BACP practitioner with 12 years of experience and speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Karlie aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and be heard.
Her practice focuses on everyday struggles like depression, coping with life changes and motivation. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
Practical problems such as sleeping and eating difficulties, money worries and feelings of isolation are also part of her work. Karlie uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at unhelpful thoughts and make small changes that can ease symptoms. Mindfulness methods are included to help people notice and steady their attention in the moment.
The client-centred stance means sessions follow the person’s priorities rather than a preset agenda. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and are scheduled mainly between 10:00 am and 8:00 pm, Monday to Friday UK time. She can arrange different times when needed.
The service operates on a cancellable subscription model and cost varies with location and therapist availability. Karlie is experienced in a wide range of family-related and relational topics such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress and family of origin problems. She also works with people affected by domestic violence, immigration issues and mood disorders.
She notes that she has dyslexia, so occasional spelling mistakes may appear in live chat; clients are invited to ask for clarification if anything is unclear.

Sessions & fees
Approaches and practical online therapy options
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace to help them clarify what matters and make choices that feel right.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small practical changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or impulsive behaviours.
Mindfulness therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for stress, rumination and improving attention in everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try approaches that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings, phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, while chat and messaging let people reflect in writing and fit therapy around busy days. These options make it easier to schedule appointments and maintain regular contact when life is hectic.
