PP Portrait of Pamela Port

About Pamela

Pamela Port is a counsellor with 18 years' experience who combines several ways of working to meet each person’s needs. She practises from the United Kingdom and brings a calm, warm presence to sessions. Pamela holds BACP registration, which is noted as a professional credential.

She prefers an integrative style rather than one fixed method. That means Pamela may use somatic techniques alongside talking therapies to help people notice how their body responds to stress.

Background and approach

She also draws on psychodynamic and client-centred ideas to make sense of patterns that cause distress. Many people come to Pamela for anxiety, panic, depression, eating and addiction issues, relationship concerns and trauma. She also supports people dealing with shame, isolation, communication problems, abandonment and attachment difficulties.

Sessions include practical teaching about how the brain and body react to stress. Pamela uses body-based work and sensorimotor ideas to help people process traumatic memories that feel stuck in the body. She also offers cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, and psychodynamic work to look at longstanding patterns.

The focus is on what helps the person now. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens carefully, offers psychoeducation, and will gently challenge negative beliefs when needed.

People can expect clear, practical steps alongside space to talk and notice how their body responds. Therapy is offered in English and international clients may be supported. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging and use a cancellable subscription model.

How Pamela blends approaches for online therapy

Somatic Therapy focuses on how the body stores stress and trauma. In practice this means noticing breath, posture and bodily sensations and using gentle exercises to release held tension. It can help when emotions feel stuck or when panic and anxiety show up physically.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current relationships and self-worth. This approach helps people understand recurring relationship dynamics and build safer ways of relating to others. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and creates a warm, non-judgemental space to explore feelings and choices.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Pamela will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and adapt the approach as trust grows. This is a collaborative process where the client and therapist decide what to try and when to change course.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and body language, while phone sessions can feel simpler for some people. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access approaches like somatic work and psychoeducation from wherever you are.
