About Cheuk
Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression and major life changes. Her practice also covers concerns such as ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief and intimacy related problems.
Karlie focuses on straightforward conversations about what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She uses clear, practical tools and reflective listening to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Sessions are delivered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese as needed.
Many of the issues she helps with involve family life, including blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and communication problems at home. She also works with people facing caregiver stress, immigration challenges, money worries and feelings of isolation.
Her approach draws on Client‑Centered ideas to keep discussion person led, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour, and mindfulness practices to develop moment‑by‑moment awareness. Conversations often include troubleshooting a current problem and planning practical steps for the week ahead.
She notes she has dyslexia and may make occasional spelling errors during live chat; she asks clients to point this out if anything is unclear. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the site options.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client‑Centered Therapy puts the person's concerns at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the topics the client brings. This approach is useful for sorting out personal values, relationship choices and what matters most in family life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often involves short practical exercises and simple home tasks to test new ways of thinking about stress, anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can help with emotional ups and downs, sleep problems and coping with change.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what works for the client. That decision is made together rather than assumed up front.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school runs, shift work or short breaks at work. It also allows sessions without travel and can make weekly check ins more manageable alongside family duties.
