About Pamela
Pamela specialises in working with depression, anxiety and healing childhood trauma in adults, and she has applied grief and loss techniques in relationship-focused work. Her approach draws on several modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Gestalt, and trauma-informed and person-centred principles. She has undertaken additional training in treating trauma survivors and mood disorders and works closely with a clinical supervisor who specialises in psychotherapy. Pamela is about to commence a Masters in Psychotherapy and Counselling to further deepen her skills and maintain an ethical, evidence-informed practice.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps people who need empathy and acceptance while exploring their feelings and personal goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and goal-oriented, helping clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new patterns of thinking and behavior. It is effective for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns and adapts well to structured online sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotional reactions and relationship difficulties and can be delivered through regular remote sessions and between-session practice.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Pamela will work with clients to understand their needs, goals and preferences and tailor a mix of methods that fit each person’s circumstances and progress over time.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, reduces travel time and makes it easier to access consistent care. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these options to maintain regular contact, adapt session formats, and support clients in ways that fit daily life.
