Pamela Port, BACP

Pamela Port is an integrative psychotherapist with 18 years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, eating and addiction issues, and other complex life challenges. She combines several therapeutic methods to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single model, drawing on approaches such as psychodynamic work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-informed practice, and somatic interventions.

She has worked with a wide range of presentations including panic attacks, complex trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, and eating and food-related difficulties, and has specific training in eating disorders and addictions. A keen interest in neuroscience and neurobiology informs her practice, and she uses psychoeducation alongside body-focused techniques to help people understand how stress and traumatic experiences can affect both mind and body.

Pamela emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change, aiming to create a warm, empathic, respectful, and compassionate space while gently challenging unhelpful patterns and beliefs. She supports clients in learning practical strategies to manage symptoms and to build more effective ways of coping, working collaboratively to help clients get the most from therapy. Pamela holds BACP accreditation - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is available to work with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns of connection and trust; it helps people explore how attachment styles influence current relationships and emotional responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, panic, and related symptoms. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how the body stores stress or trauma, using gentle body-focused techniques alongside talk therapy to support processing and regulation.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey, and Pamela works collaboratively with clients and other registered professionals to tailor the plan to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most helpful and adjust the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or location. These options support continuity of care, quicker scheduling, and the ability to work with a therapist from different places while keeping the focus on practical, effective therapeutic work.
