Background and approach

Kam draws on somatic approaches alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. This mix helps people attend to bodily sensations, explore early relationship patterns, and feel heard without pressure. She also uses ideas from existential and Jungian approaches when they fit the work.

Her background includes counselling work in mental health, education and community settings. That experience informs a pragmatic approach to everyday problems like parenting stress, career concerns and family conflict. Kam also supports people facing trauma, abuse, bereavement, identity and immigration stressors.

Sessions are paced to what feels manageable. Kam encourages small steps and steady changes rather than quick fixes. She aims to help people reconnect with strengths they already have and build clearer choices for the future.

How Kam’s approaches translate to online therapy

Kam blends somatic awareness with attachment-based and client-centred practices to help people notice both bodily signals and relational patterns. Somatic work invites simple attention to breath, posture and bodily sensations to reduce overwhelm and help people feel more present. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and communication. Client-centred therapy offers a non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals steer the sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kam will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels comfortable, and then together they will test ways of working that fit. The process is collaborative and can be adapted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video can help with face-to-face conversation, while phone or text options suit people who prefer less visual contact or need shorter, more flexible check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and travel commitments, and to continue the work from different locations.
