About Cheuk
Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She focuses on practical, respectful listening and supports clients as they work through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with life changes, motivation and confidence. Sessions aim to be calm and non-judgemental so people can talk openly about what matters to them.
With 12 years of experience, she brings steady, hands-on support to common and complex concerns. She also works with issues like ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related worries, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and immigration-related difficulties.
Her approach blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. That mix means sessions can centre on listening and building trust, while also using simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to practise being present. The aim is to help people develop tools they can use between meetings.
She offers services in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and works from the United Kingdom. Her working hours are mainly 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday to Friday UK time, with flexibility to arrange other times when needed.
Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She notes she has dyslexia and may make occasional spelling errors during live chat, and invites clients to ask for clarification if anything is unclear.
How client-centred work and practical therapies translate online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and working at your pace. It aims to create a space where people can say what matters to them and feel understood. This approach is helpful for building trust and for talking through worries such as low mood, anxiety or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses straightforward exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and behaving. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity and problems with sleep or motivation. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention practices to reduce rumination and increase calm in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and will help decide whether listening-focused sessions, CBT techniques or mindfulness exercises - or a mix - fit best. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.
