About Cheuk
Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a counsellor who draws on person-centred care to help people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She is known for offering steady, practical support and encourages open conversation about feelings. Karlie works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and practises in the United Kingdom.
With 12 years of experience and BACP registration, Karlie keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what the person needs right now. She helps people notice how thoughts, behaviours and habits affect mood, and then tries simple ways to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to calm the body and settle racing thoughts.
People come to Karlie for a wide range of concerns including panic and anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports those facing adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and adjustment after immigration. Sessions often include checking practical day-to-day coping and planning small experiments between meetings.
Karlie describes the therapeutic space as non-judgemental and warm. She invites gentle curiosity about emotions and behaviour rather than pressure to perform. If a client needs clearer explanations or different pacing, she will adapt approaches to suit them.
She usually works weekdays between 10:00 am and 8:00 pm UK time and can discuss other times where needed. Karlie notes she has dyslexia and may make occasional spelling errors in live chat; she asks clients to say so if anything is unclear.
How client-centred, CBT and mindfulness work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers; online sessions let the counsellor hear what matters most and reflect it back in plain language. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short exercises to test unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce physical symptoms of anxiety and to bring steadier focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is a shared task. The counsellor will talk through goals and preferences, try techniques in session and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process helps match tools to what works for each person over time.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets from home while practising skills in everyday routines.
