About Pamela
Pamela Port is a counsellor with 18 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She uses a flexible, integrative way of working and adapts methods to suit each person's needs. Her manner is warm, respectful and direct, and she aims to build a trusting relationship from the first sessions.
Pamela draws on several approaches to help people manage worry, low mood, trauma and difficulties with food and addictive behaviours. She offers simple explanations about how the brain and body react to stress and teaches practical techniques to reduce symptoms.
How Pamela works
Sessions include talking, noticing bodily reactions, and learning new ways to respond to triggers. People come to Pamela for help with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and the emotional impact of trauma and abuse. She also supports those working through separation, feelings of emptiness, shame, body image problems and challenges linked to addiction.
Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns. Therapy blends reflective talking with exercises drawn from cognitive and somatic methods. Pamela uses psychoeducation to explain why certain responses happen and how to change them.
She will gently challenge unhelpful thinking while keeping the pace suited to the individual. Pamela accepts clients from the UK and internationally and holds BACP registration. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to availability.

How Pamela’s approaches work online
Pamela often uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches in online work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections and helps people understand patterns that show up in present relationships. Client-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so the person can find their own solutions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT includes simple, structured exercises to challenge negative thinking and try out new behaviours between sessions, which can suit people wanting practical steps to feel better.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Pamela will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process lets the approach change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work while travelling or living abroad.
