Pamela Port , BACP

Pamela Port is an integrative psychotherapist with 18 years of clinical experience and holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She adopts an integrative stance because she believes no single therapeutic model fits everyone, drawing instead on psychodynamic, humanistic, person-centered, gestalt, cognitive behavioral, somatic, and sensorimotor methods to tailor work to each individual's needs.

Pamela has maintained a private practice supporting people through a broad range of difficulties, including anxiety and panic attacks, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma and complex trauma. She has also completed specialist training in eating disorders and addictions, allowing her to offer informed interventions for disordered eating and substance-related concerns.

With a particular interest in neuroscience and neurobiology, Pamela blends psychoeducation with body-focused techniques such as somatic and sensorimotor interventions to help people better understand how the brain and body respond to stress and trauma. She believes that the body often retains traumatic memories and that body-oriented work can be an important pathway for processing difficult experiences. Central to her practice is the therapeutic alliance - she works in a warm, empathic, respectful, and compassionate manner while gently challenging unhelpful beliefs and negative thinking to support meaningful change.

Online therapeutic approaches and flexible care

Pamela integrates somatic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and attachment-based perspectives into her online practice. Somatic therapy focuses on the body's role in storing and processing experiences and uses gentle body-oriented techniques to support recovery from trauma and stress. CBT helps identify and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Attachment-based work explores relational patterns formed early in life and helps people create healthier ways of relating and managing intimacy and separation issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Pamela works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt the focus as therapy progresses. This teamwork helps ensure the plan reflects the client's priorities and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, with sessions available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver consistent, goal-oriented therapeutic work that is adaptable to each client's life.
