About Cheuk
Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes using a client-focused way of working. She practises client-centred therapy and draws on cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of professional experience.
Karlie works in clear, practical steps. She encourages people to talk about what is worrying them and to try manageable changes between sessions. Conversations focus on thoughts, habits and small adjustments that can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Mindfulness techniques are offered as simple exercises to use day to day.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction-related problems, and difficulties with sleep and eating. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care matters, immigration-related stress, caregiver strain and problems with impulse control. ADHD and autism are included among her focus areas.
Karlie notes she has dyslexia and may make occasional spelling mistakes in live chat; she asks clients to say if anything is unclear. She normally works weekdays between 10:00 and 20:00 UK time and can discuss other times when needed.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. Online sessions using this approach aim to make the client's concerns central and to adapt the conversation to their pace and priorities.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and encourages practical changes. Delivered remotely, CBT often uses short exercises and agreed actions between sessions to build new habits and reduce unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve concentration. These can be practised in short moments during the week as part of remote work.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then agree an approach together rather than imposing one set method.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep continuity of care while juggling everyday commitments.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
