Kam Leihal

Kam Leihal is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She sees people concerned about relationships, self-esteem, coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and career questions, and she also lists life purpose among her areas of focus.

Kam keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She works in a collaborative way, inviting clients to reflect and make practical changes at a manageable pace. Her style is grounded in person-centred listening alongside other methods she uses in practice.

She draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships affect present patterns. Kam also uses client-centred principles to focus on what matters to the individual in the room. Elements of existential and Jungian ideas appear in her work when people are looking at meaning, identity or deeper patterns.

Kam has experience across mental health, education and community settings. That background means she is used to helping people who are juggling family demands, work pressures and life transitions. She can talk through issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, blended family tensions, divorce and separation, and caregiving stress.

Practical concerns like communication problems, codependency, body image and guilt are also part of her caseload. If someone wants to think through midlife questions or career direction, she will approach those topics in conversation and with reflective exercises. To begin, she encourages people to outline what feels most pressing and to work at a pace that suits them.

How Kam integrates talking therapies online

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early bonds affect present relationships and patterns. Online sessions can be used to look at attachment themes such as trust, separation or closeness and how those show up now.

Client-centred work focuses on the person's own priorities and pace. In an online session this means the counsellor follows what the client brings, reflects it back, and helps people make sense of their choices and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kam will discuss different ways of working and agree together what feels most useful based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation can happen in the first few meetings and adjust as things change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online appointments because they can fit sessions into work breaks, avoid travel time, and keep to shorter or longer check-ins as needed. If you need a quieter or lower-bandwidth option, discuss this when arranging your first meeting so practical arrangements match your day-to-day life.
