About Pamela Lear

Pamela Lear offers a calm, non-judgemental setting where people can explore feelings, concerns and life challenges at a pace that suits them. She tailors each session to individual needs, helping some clients develop practical coping strategies and set clear goals, while enabling others to stay with and understand their emotions more deeply.

Trained in Person Centred, Systemic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Pamela works in an integrative way, drawing on these approaches to form a collaborative working relationship. Her aim is to create mutual understanding and clarity of purpose so that therapeutic work leads toward the outcomes the client wants to achieve.

Her practice draws on experience across corporate and commercial settings as well as work with a national bereavement support charity and with people facing terminal illness. She has been practising as a counsellor since 2003 and brings that background to bear when supporting people through relationship difficulties, grief, stress, anxiety and life transitions. Pamela holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her connection to the professional counselling community in the United Kingdom.

Integrative approaches for online therapy

Person Centred therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship in which the client is supported to explore emotions and make their own choices. It is helpful for people seeking a safe space to process grief, self esteem concerns and life changes.

Systemic work looks at how relationships and family patterns influence current difficulties. This approach can be useful when addressing family problems, communication and attachment concerns by viewing problems in the context of wider relationships rather than only within the individual.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. It often includes goal setting and skill building to support coping and change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Pamela will work with clients to identify the most useful techniques based on their needs, goals and preferences, adapting methods as the work progresses so the therapy fits each person.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offer flexibility and accessibility for busy lives and for those who find in-person meetings difficult. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while working with registered professionals and therapists.
