Pamela Port , BACP

Pamela Port is a counsellor with 18 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works in an integrative way, drawing on different theories and techniques to suit each person's needs. Pamela is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and speaks English.

She helps people deal with stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks and relationship difficulties. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, addictions, issues around intimacy, and self-esteem struggles. Pamela often addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment worries, codependency and communication problems.

Pamela blends talking therapy with body-focused work. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns and attachment-based thinking to understand close relationships. Cognitive behavioural methods are used when practical tools are helpful for changing thoughts and behaviours. Somatic techniques and sensorimotor ideas are brought in for people who carry distress in their bodies or have trauma symptoms.

She emphasises psychoeducation and simple skills clients can use between sessions. Expect calm, warm listening alongside gentle challenge when beliefs or habits get in the way of progress. Pamela aims to build a strong therapeutic alliance so people feel understood and able to try different ways of coping.

Online and remote sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients can be supported, and practical arrangements are made after the short matching questionnaire and scheduling step.

How Pamela's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based thinking looks at how early relationships shape how we connect now. Online sessions can be used to notice relationship patterns, work through attachment wounds and build new ways of relating to others.

Client-centred work puts the person's experience at the heart of therapy. In remote sessions Pamela offers empathic listening and reflection so people feel heard and understood before moving at a pace that suits them.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are practical and goal-focused. These methods can be taught and practised over video or phone, for example using thought records, behavioural experiments and simple exercises to reduce anxiety and manage mood.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Pamela will discuss options and help choose approaches based on a person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative decision and she adapts the plan as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when a lower bandwidth or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life while keeping continuity of care.
