Pamela Port

Pamela Port is a counsellor with 18 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. Pamela describes herself as warm, empathic and respectful and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and relationship difficulties.

She works in a conversational way and explains the tools she uses. That can include talking through patterns of thought, looking at how early attachments affect current relationships, and practising body-based techniques to calm the nervous system. She often uses psychoeducation to help people understand why symptoms like panic or low mood happen.

Pamela has substantial experience with trauma and abuse, complex trauma, addictions, and eating and food-related issues. She also offers support around self-esteem, intimacy concerns, codependency and communication problems. Her background includes work with issues linked to veteran and armed forces experiences.

Her style balances empathy with gentle challenge. Pamela aims to build a trusting relationship and then help people test unhelpful beliefs and try new ways of coping. Sessions typically include practical skills as well as reflective conversation.

Pamela values using the body as well as the mind in therapy, so somatic techniques or sensorimotor ideas may be introduced when helpful. She is registered with the BACP, which is shown as BACP, and works with individuals wanting to make changes in their lives.

If someone wants to begin, Pamela asks them to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a time to meet.

How Pamela’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns from early life. Online sessions can help people notice how those patterns affect current connections and practise different responses in everyday situations.

Client-centred therapy centres on listening and creating a holding space. In online sessions this means the counsellor offers empathic reflection and helps the person find their own answers through careful, non-directive conversation.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical tools to reduce distress. Delivered online, CBT often includes short exercises and homework to try between sessions so people can apply new skills to real life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Pamela will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process is ongoing and can be adjusted as needs change.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using worksheets, breathing exercises and somatic techniques between meetings to build new habits.
