Pamela Port, BACP

Pamela Port is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and addictions. Pamela also helps with issues such as codependency, attachment and communication problems.

She describes an integrative way of working that draws on several approaches. Sessions often include talking through patterns in relationships and how early attachments affect current choices. Pamela uses straightforward psychoeducation about how the brain and body respond to stress and trauma to help people understand their reactions.

Somatic methods and sensorimotor ideas are part of her work when clients need to address bodily responses to past events. She blends this with cognitive tools to notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and with psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that keep turning up in relationships.

Pamela aims to build a strong therapeutic relationship and to be honest and direct when needed. She will name unhelpful beliefs and offer practical techniques for managing panic, anxious thoughts, low mood and body-image concerns. Her approach suits people who want both talking therapy and hands-on techniques to manage feelings.

Clients who start with Pamela are guided to learn skills they can use outside sessions. She encourages short explanations about how the nervous system works, practical exercises to reduce overwhelm, and reflective conversations about boundaries, codependency and intimacy. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
