About Pamela Lear

Pamela Lear creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore their feelings and work through practical problems. She adapts the pace and focus of therapy to each person - for some clients she concentrates on developing coping strategies and setting achievable goals, while with others she works more directly with emotions and inner experience. Pamela blends Person Centred, Systemic, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches, using an integrative method that draws on her training and experience to build clarity of purpose and mutual understanding in the therapeutic relationship.

With 18 years of professional practice, Pamela has experience in both corporate and commercial environments and has supported people through bereavement as part of a national bereavement support charity. She has also worked with people who are terminally ill, bringing sensitivity to situations involving loss, major life transitions, and complex family dynamics. Pamela holds BACP, which indicates affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Her work aims to help clients navigate relationship difficulties, grief, stress, anxiety, and other life challenges by fostering a clear, collaborative therapeutic relationship and tailoring interventions to individual needs and goals.

Could Remote Therapy Fit Your Needs?

Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist remotely can really help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life changes - research and clinical practice indicate that online therapy can offer outcomes comparable to traditional in-person sessions for many individuals. Licensed professionals are increasingly working with people through remote formats, and many find this approach delivers meaningful progress.



A major benefit of online therapy is flexibility. People can choose the way of connecting that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult. That flexibility can make therapy more accessible without requiring travel or a strict schedule.



Therapists are trained to adapt their methods to remote settings, and individuals can change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many, online therapy is a practical, effective option to explore support for emotional and relational challenges.
