About Kam
Kam Leihal is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, stress and life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures and career questions. Kam writes in a calm tone and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for worried parents and individuals.
She works in a warm, grounded way and keeps sessions practical and steady. Conversations are shaped around what the person needs, at a pace that feels safe and realistic.
Background and approach
Kam draws on Narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Her practice also uses attachment-based thinking to notice patterns in close relationships. Client-centred principles guide how she listens, making room for each person's priorities and choices.
These approaches combine with elements of existential and Jungian thinking when helpful for deeper meaning and identity questions. Kam has 18 years of experience in community, education and mental health settings. She holds NCPS as a listed credential.
That background informs brief practical tools and longer exploratory work, depending on what a client wants. Sessions can cover practical communication skills, boundaries, parenting stresses, blended-family issues, and feelings of abandonment or shame. Kam aims to help people reconnect with strengths and find clearer ways forward in daily life.
People meet Kam for a mix of short-term problem work and longer reflective therapy. Her style is respectful, steady and collaborative, with attention to what matters most to each person.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Kam directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and attachment ideas work online
Kam often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, family of origin problems, career doubts and midlife questions because it highlights alternative ways to understand events and choices.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to notice recurring patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect stress, parenting and communication. Working this way can make it easier to spot repeated reactions and try different ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and Kam treats it as a collaborative process. She will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on needs, goals and what feels most helpful in early sessions.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls work well for longer sessions where seeing each other helps the conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective notes or those who prefer typing to talking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work or travel and to keep a steady rhythm between sessions.
