About Pamela
Pamela Lear is a BACP counsellor with 18 years' experience. She creates a calm space where people can talk about hard feelings and life changes. Her work is adaptable and centred on what each person needs in the moment.
She meets people who want to manage stress, anxiety or depression, and those facing grief, addiction or relationship pain. Pamela also helps with career pressures, anger, bipolar mood challenges and parenting-related strain.
Background and approach
Short-term goal work and longer emotional processing are both offered, depending on what suits the person. Her background includes time in corporate and commercial settings as well as roles with a national bereavement support charity and work with people at the end of life. That range shapes an approach that balances practical steps and emotional exploration.
Sessions can focus on coping strategies, communication skills or deeper feelings, according to need. Pamela works in an integrative way, combining different evidence-based techniques to match the issue presented. She aims for clarity about goals and steady progress, while keeping the pace comfortable for the client.
The relationship in the room is used as the basis for change. People meet Pamela to sort out immediate problems and to make longer-term adjustments. She explains options clearly and helps set realistic, manageable goals.
If someone prefers practical tasks one week and more emotion-focused work the next, she will adapt her approach to fit.

Online support
Pamela draws on an integrative mix of approaches to match the issue at hand and the person's preferences. Choosing the right method is a collaborative process; she will discuss options, try different ways of working and adjust the approach as goals and needs become clearer.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility around work, childcare and travel. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing, brief contact between sessions. The variety of formats makes it simpler to keep therapy going when life is busy and helps people fit support into their routine.
