About Kam
Counsellor Kam Leihal is a member of NCPS with 18 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, anxiety, stress, grief, parenting matters, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Kam also lists career issues and a range of family-related concerns among her special interests.
She uses a person-focused way of working that lets people lead the conversation. Sessions are paced to each individual. Kam listens for patterns in relationships and early attachment, and she helps people connect those patterns to current problems. She draws on client-centred work together with attachment ideas, Jungian and existential perspectives, and mindfulness practices to help people make sense of their feelings and choices.
Sessions often involve talking about specific incidents and the feelings that come with them. Kam may help identify repeated behaviours and unhelpful cycles, then try different ways of understanding them. Creative methods were mentioned in the original biography, and she has experience working in mental health, education and community settings.
Clients bring a wide range of concerns, such as abandonment and attachment issues, blended family and family of origin problems, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, body image and caregiver stress. She also works with themes like guilt and shame, forgiveness, immigration issues, finding life purpose and midlife shifts.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current links with others. It helps when someone notices repeated problems in close relationships or worries about trust and closeness.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The therapist listens without directing and helps the client make sense of feelings and choices. This approach is useful for people who want a steady, non-judgemental space to talk things through.
Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention practices into the work. It can help with stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions by teaching ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Kam will discuss options with the client and agree a way of working based on their needs, goals and what feels right to them. That choice can change as the work progresses and is reviewed together.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the current options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full-length session is not possible. It also lets people keep working with a therapist when they are living in a different country from the counsellor.
