About Cheuk
Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a counsellor who uses Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness approaches. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also lists adoption and foster care among her areas of focus.
Over 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom inform her work. She aims to make sessions a place where people can speak without fear of judgement. Karlie encourages straightforward conversation and clear goals. She notes she has dyslexia and may make occasional spelling errors in live chat, and asks clients to say if anything is unclear.
In session she helps people break problems into small steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot patterns that keep difficulties going. Client-Centred Therapy shapes the pace around the person’s own priorities. Mindfulness tools help with stress and emotional regulation.
Karlie supports people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship or intimacy worries, addictions and parenting strain. She also works with issues such as sleep or eating problems, impulsivity and feelings of emptiness. Practical coping strategies are mixed with listening and reflection.
Her working hours are generally 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday to Friday UK time, with flexibility to arrange other times when needed. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.
How therapy approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy is about making the session follow the person’s concerns and pace. The counsellor listens closely and helps clients name what matters most, which can be useful for worries like anxiety or low mood.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep difficulties going and breaks them into manageable steps. It is often used for anxiety, depression and problems such as sleep or impulsivity.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce stress and improve emotional balance, and can be useful alongside other approaches for coping with strong feelings.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will try different techniques to see what helps. This is a collaborative process rather than a preset plan.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also make some sessions simpler to schedule around work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss which session pattern suits a person’s life and goals.
