About Pamela
Pamela Harris is a counsellor with 23 years of professional experience who works from a person-centred perspective. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and work through trauma and abuse. Pamela also supports people with depression and issues related to sexuality and LGBT matters.
She has substantial experience supporting young people, having worked in schools for 15 years.
Background and approach
Pamela aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She adapts conversations and plans so they suit each person’s situation. In sessions she keeps the work practical and focused.
People can expect straightforward conversation, time to tell their story, and a joint plan for what to try next. The emphasis is on small, realistic steps that fit into everyday life. Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person’s priorities first.
She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify practical options and build on what already works. Together these approaches help with responses to relationship patterns, isolation, identity questions, post-traumatic stress and other concerns listed below. Pamela welcomes conversations about goals and preferences at the start of therapy.
That helps shape the pace and the techniques used, and ensures sessions are matched to what someone wants to address.

How Pamela works online
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and building on what already works. It looks for small, doable changes and helps people notice progress, which can be useful for stress, communication problems and short-term goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Pamela will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative conversation guides whether to focus more on listening and exploration or on practical solution work.
If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for continuity when juggling work, family and other commitments.
