About Cheuk
Cheuk Ka Karlie Lam is a counsellor who uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Her approach aims to make each person feel heard and respected as they talk through concerns. Karlie communicates in English, Mandarin and Cantonese to meet different language needs.
Karlie has 12 years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and explored at a pace that suits the person. Sessions can cover practical steps for coping as well as time to reflect on emotions.
Her work often focuses on everyday pressures such as work-related stress, sleep and eating issues, relationship and intimacy questions, and caring or parenting strains. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addiction, trauma, grief and mood concerns. Additional areas include adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues, immigration-related stress and financial worries.
Karlie notes she has dyslexia and may make occasional spelling errors during live chat; clients are invited to ask for clarification when needed. She generally works Monday to Friday between 10:00 and 20:00 UK time and can agree other times when necessary. The therapist asks people to use the platform Start Therapy flow to begin matching and scheduling.
Sessions are arranged via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats offered by the therapist.
How Karlie's approaches work for online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel understood. This approach suits people who want a respectful space to talk about work stress, relationships or caring pressures.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence feelings. It uses practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and physical sensations without getting swept up by them. It can support stress management, emotional regulation and staying present during difficult moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to needs, goals and preferences and suggest what to try first. Decisions are made collaboratively and can change as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful. It also makes sessions accessible for people who prefer to meet from their own routines rather than rearranging their day.
