Pamela Harris, BACP

Pamela Harris is a BACP counsellor with 23 years of professional experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma. Pamela aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for conversation and change.

She spent 15 years working in schools and has particular experience with issues that affect young adults. Her work also includes LGBT matters, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and problems with communication and self-worth. Pamela also supports people dealing with domestic violence, family of origin issues, loneliness, midlife change and sexual matters.

Sessions are shaped around each person's needs. Pamela listens first and then works with the person to agree practical steps. She uses client-focused conversations and solution-focused techniques to help people spot small changes that make daily life easier.

Her style is warm and direct. Pamela aims to keep language simple and actions clear so people can try things between sessions. She encourages realistic goals and celebrates progress along the way.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Pamela helps people map out the next small move and supports them through setbacks. Her approach suits someone who wants steady, practical support from an experienced counsellor.

Client-centred and solution-focused work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead to help them make sense of their experience. This approach is helpful for tackling feelings like grief, anxiety and low mood where being heard matters most.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, realistic steps that can change daily life. Sessions often identify what is already working and build simple plans to increase those moments. It can be useful for stress, communication problems and practical goals where clear actions help.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Pamela will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That conversation usually happens in early sessions and can be revisited as things change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose whether to focus on talking, written reflections or brief practical tasks between meetings, depending on what suits their life.
