My aim is to offer a safe, non-judgemental environment in which to explore emotions, issues and problems. We discuss individual needs and work accordingly, at a pace to suit the client - seeking coping strategies and setting goals with some, focussing primarily on emotions with others.
I am trained in Person Centred, Systemic and CBT approaches. I work integratively, drawing on my knowledge and experience to achieve a relationship in which there is mutual understanding, clarity of purpose and desired outcome.
I have been practicing as a counsellor since 2003 with experience of both corporate and commercial organisations. I have also worked with a national Bereavement Support charity and with the terminally ill.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Pamela Lear. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Pamela helps me understand what I need and leaves me. Building and working on my own answers which is exactly what I want. I don't need somebody to tell me. I need somebody to guide. me which is exactly what she does.

Pam has been amazing help, support, inspiration, caring and kind. I couldn’t ask for anyone better for understanding me and listening and engagement we me, my issues, concerns and relationship situation.
Professional, Caring, supportive and Complimentary on my overall persona. Which helps me to be a better person and makes me feel that I’m a better person for it.
Wouldn’t wanna be with anyone else, but Pam.
Thank you
