About Pamela
Pamela Harris is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Accredited counsellor with 23 years of professional experience. She has spent many years helping people manage stress and anxiety and supporting those affected by trauma, abuse, grief and loss. Pamela also draws on long experience with young adult issues after working in schools for 15 years.
She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Her work is tailored to each person’s situation, so conversations and plans are shaped around individual needs and goals.
Background and approach
Pamela makes space for people to talk about sexuality and LGBT matters as part of wider emotional concerns. In sessions she focuses on simple, practical steps as well as listening closely to what feels important to the client. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person’s pace and priorities.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small changes that can make day-to-day life easier. People come to Pamela with depression, grief, post-traumatic stress and difficulties in relationships or communication. She can help those feeling isolated, struggling with self-harm urges, or facing midlife and identity questions.
Her school-based work means she understands the pressures young adults often face. Starting work together begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Pamela aims to create a respectful space where clients can try new ways of coping and take steps towards clearer thinking and calmer days.

How Pamela uses her approaches in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, listens deeply and reflects what matters most to them. This approach helps people who need a steady, compassionate space to sort through feelings and make sense of difficult experiences.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for concrete, manageable changes. It helps identify small steps that can lead to noticeable improvements in daily life. This approach suits people who want practical ideas to try between sessions and clear goals to work towards.
Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. Pamela will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and adapt the work as things move forward. The aim is to find a way of working that feels right, whether that means slowing down to listen or focusing on specific solutions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking.
