About Pamela
Pamela Harris is a BACP counsellor with 23 years of professional experience. She has helped people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse and issues related to LGBT identity. Pamela aims to offer a calm, respectful space where people can begin to talk through what matters to them.
Her work is practical and person-focused. She adapts conversations and a plan to fit each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Pamela draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person's experience at the heart of sessions. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help set clear, achievable goals.
Over more than two decades she has worked across different settings, including schools for 15 years, which gave her a wide view of common struggles people bring. That experience informs how she responds to issues such as attachment concerns, communication problems and feelings of isolation.
Sessions often look at what is happening now and what changes would feel manageable. Pamela talks through coping strategies for panic, low mood, grief and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people grappling with self-harm impulses, sexuality questions, domestic violence aftermath and difficulties originating in family of origin dynamics.
People who choose her tend to want a straightforward, compassionate approach. Pamela focuses on helping someone make small, steady steps toward feeling more able to manage day-to-day life and relationships.
How Pamela uses client-centred and solution-focused approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own experience at the centre of sessions. It means the counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is said and follows the person's pace so they feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings like grief, anxiety or questions about identity.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that lead to change. It emphasises identifying goals and building on existing strengths and resources. This can be useful for managing stress, improving communication and making steady progress when someone feels stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pamela will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which way of working to try first. The plan can change as you learn what helps most, so the process stays collaborative and tailored to you.
