About Kam
NCPS, counsellor, 18 years experience. Kam Leihal works with people on relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. She also helps with family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns and career questions. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Kam uses an integrative approach drawn from attachment-based, client-centred and existential ideas alongside Jungian and mindfulness methods. She aims to keep sessions grounded and collaborative. In practice this means listening, reflecting, and helping people name feelings and patterns that affect their choices and relationships.
Sessions often focus on how early attachments show up now, how personal meaning is formed, and how attention and breathing can steady difficult moments. Kam also brings elements of expressive arts and systemic family practice when these fit a person’s needs and goals. She frames work around small, practical steps as well as deeper reflection.
Kam has worked across mental health, education and community settings during her career. Her background includes supporting individuals and families through transitions, separation, and issues tied to identity and belonging. She uses her experience to offer straightforward, calm counselling rather than technical jargon.
Initial work commonly includes establishing priorities, noticing patterns in relationships and mood, and agreeing simple tasks between sessions. Clients who continue often move on to explore attachment patterns, make practical changes, or develop ways to manage stress and anxiety more effectively.
Approaches in online counselling and what to expect
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps when trust, closeness or fear of abandonment are recurring problems and supports clearer ways of relating to others. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person’s experience in the room, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting what comes up to help clarify feelings and choices. Existential therapy examines questions of meaning, responsibility and life direction, which can be useful for midlife changes, uncertainty and searching for purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kam will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and choose elements from these approaches together. The plan can change as therapy progresses and is shaped collaboratively rather than fixed in advance.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments, and can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also help when someone prefers to avoid camera use, or needs a session with lower bandwidth for a stable connection. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer these practical benefits while adapting methods like attachment-based work and mindfulness to remote sessions.
