Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Pamela directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and ACT inform online counselling
Pamela often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problem stories and see new possibilities. This approach looks at the stories people tell and helps them re-author those stories so they fit their values and goals.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward what matters. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, grief and life changes because it pairs acceptance with practical steps.
Attachment-Based ideas are also part of her work, helping people understand how important relationships influence behaviour and emotional responses. That perspective can inform ways to improve communication and build safer patterns with others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Pamela collaborates with each person to find methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, reflect on what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for short reflections, coaching prompts and when written conversation feels easier. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives and varying daily rhythms.
