About Pamela
Pamela Harris is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 23 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, grief, loss and depression, and has a long record of helping young adults navigate early adult challenges.
She spent 15 years working in schools and has developed practical ways to talk through pressures young people face. Pamela uses clear, down-to-earth conversations to help clients unpack what is happening and find manageable next steps.
Pamela draws on client-centred therapy to focus on a person's own perspective. She also uses solution-focused ideas to identify small changes that bring relief. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when that suits the client.
Her additional areas of attention include attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, domestic violence, family of origin issues, isolation and loneliness, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, sexuality and women’s issues. She is comfortable supporting people working through complexity and overlapping struggles.
People who come to Pamela often want straightforward practical help with everyday pressures - leaving home, study, work stress, relationships and feeling stuck. She guides clients to find clearer options and to try steps that fit their life rhythm.
To start, she asks about current difficulties and what the client hopes to gain. From there she collaborates on how sessions will run and what to try between meetings.
How Pamela uses client-centred and solution-focused work online
Client-centred therapy puts the person's own perspective first. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach is helpful for stress, relationship questions and identity concerns common in early adulthood.Solution-focused therapy looks for small practical changes that can make a difference fast. It concentrates on strengths, previous successes and clear next steps. This can suit people who want concrete ways to manage anxiety, study or work pressures and relationship tensions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Pamela will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That way sessions match what you need at each stage and can shift as you make progress.
