Eddie Lam

Eddie Lam is a trainee counsellor and a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He is currently working towards an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling at The Awareness Centre and works within NHS Lambeth Talking Therapies as part of his clinical placement. Eddie also holds a Master’s degree in Organisational and Social Psychology from the London School of Economics (LSE). His integrative training enables him to draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring his work to each client’s unique needs and experiences. He supports clients experiencing a variety of emotional and psychological difficulties and is committed to providing an ethical, collaborative, and compassionate therapeutic service.

Eddie works with an integrative counselling approach, grounded in the belief that no two clients are the same, and that even similar experiences can be felt and understood very differently by different people. He draws on a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques, always guided by what each client finds most comfortable, safe, and meaningful. Eddie places strong emphasis on creating a supportive and non-judgemental space where clients are encouraged to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. He works collaboratively with clients, empowering them to discover solutions together rather than imposing a fixed way of working. Through this process, clients are supported to recognise strengths they may not have realised they had, to find a voice that may have been silenced by others or by circumstances, and to explore possibilities they may never have thought were open to them.

Before training as a counsellor, Eddie spent over 15 years leading employee mental health and wellbeing initiatives within the financial and legal sectors, giving him a deep understanding of workplace stress, organisational pressures, and the challenges of balancing demanding careers with personal relationships and wellbeing. Drawing on both his professional and lived experience, he has a particular interest in supporting clients experiencing workplace stress, relationship difficulties, and issues affecting LGBTQ+ individuals, including identity, coming out, same-sex relationships, anxiety around rejection, and experiences of exclusion or misunderstanding. His work with neurodivergent children has also shaped a patient, affirming, and strengths-based approach, giving him valuable insight into the experiences of autistic and ADHD individuals. Alongside his clinical training, Eddie co-facilitates monthly support groups with Queer Minds, a London-based mental health charity supporting LGBTQ+ people, and volunteers with All Aboard Club, where he runs monthly playgroups for autistic and ADHD children. He offers a therapeutic space rooted in empathy, respect, and genuine understanding, where clients can feel safe to be fully themselves.
