Hi,
I welcome you to my site to learn a little more about me. My name is Kam and I am an accredited/licensed Counsellor in the UK with 17 years experience. I have always had a natural desire to support and empower others. I am naturally warm and empathic.
I hold you with profound respect, honouring your hopes and expectations. I have a gentle approach to deconstructing your presenting issues/difficulties with you - we work with collaboration. Regardless of where you are at in your life, we calibrate the sessions to what will work best for you. It maybe that you need a safe place to process to share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement or, want to work towards specific goals/treatment from symptom relief or, improving overall well-being and function. I always strive to treat the therapeutic relationship, with compassion and respect.
My clinical experience is diverse and broad in working with a variety of ages and presenting issues across settings that include mental health, education and community based. I work with individuals, families and deliver group therapy. I have experience in supporting clients with a range of issues; some that include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, trauma, loss, abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, identity, discrimination and life transitions etc.
My therapy style and approach draws influence from my psycho-therapeutic training that includes Integrative Counselling, Play & Expressive Arts Therapy and Systemic Family Practitioner.
I appreciate that taking the first step to seek a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in your journey.
Warm wishes
Kam

I have had so much growth since working with Kam. She’s very knowledgeable and has amazing tools and tips to help me through my issues. She’s very good at bringing it all together and remembering things that we’ve talked about in the past. I love that I’m able to talk about Spiritual things with her and she understands how that all ties in too. Her energy is lovely and she is is very gentle in her approach. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

Kam is a holistic specialist, she knows how to use various therapeutic approaches depending on the various stages of the therapy and based on my needs in that specific session. I personally appreciate the flow of the sessions and that I always get out of them with a positive outlook.

My therapist has been an incredible support. Her attentiveness, understanding, and compassion have transformed my mental health journey. Initially, I didn't expect to be doing therapy for more than a month, but her guidance has made me reconsider. I'm deeply grateful for her dedication, and our sessions have become a vital part of my well-being."
