About Pamela

Pamela Harris helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and issues related to sexuality using talking-based counselling. She uses client-centred and solution-focused approaches and is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accredited counsellor with 23 years of professional experience.

Pamela meets each person as an individual. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters to the client and finding practical steps forward. She aims to make sessions clear and direct, helping people identify small changes that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.

Her background includes long experience with young people after 15 years working in schools. That work gave practical experience with educational settings, communication difficulties and the pressures that affect teenagers and young adults.

Pamela also has experience with trauma, domestic violence and complex loss. She works with people on attachment and family of origin issues, isolation and midlife transitions. She offers a straightforward approach to self-harm, post-traumatic stress and recovery after abuse.

In sessions she uses client-centred methods to follow what the person brings, and solution-focused steps to set manageable goals. Conversations are paced to suit the individual and may include practical exercises to practise between sessions. Pamela works in English and accepts international clients.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Pamela uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person's concerns and priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and giving the client space to name what matters, which can help with grief, sexuality questions and depression.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps towards client goals. This method is action-oriented and helps with stress, anxiety and midlife or young adult transitions by setting clear, short-term goals.

Working out which approach fits is part of the early sessions. Pamela will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video or who need sessions that fit around work or study timetables.
