Pamela Allen

I work in Witney, Monday to Thursday, in person. My timetable varies; do feel free to get in touch to see whether we can find a time that suits.

My approach to counselling sits within an existentialist philosophy but I rarely work within only one mode. We build our work together by building our relationship together, and so therapy is always a unique experience. With me you will find a safe space where you can say anything without being judged, and feel anything without being wrong.

Are you struggling with feelings around self-esteem, anxiety, depression or stress? Are you trying to make sense of life and your place in it? Do you feel stuck in a difficult relationship or situation? Do you have life-limiting issues, or regrets for a life lived differently from the one you had imagined? 

I work with neurodivergence, trauma, worry, confusion, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief and loneliness. Sometimes people worry whether their concerns are important enough to need therapy. If there is something worrying you, then the chances are you are hoping to feel better. That is enough reason.

I offer individual counselling therapy for adults and older adults. My approach is mainly phenomenological: we work on how you feel in the present, and consider what you want and need to do in order to shape your future.

However, I never work with only one approach; we build our work together by building our relationship together, and so therapy is always a unique experience. Sessions can continue for several weeks or many months.
