Hi, I'm Penny, I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (www.bacp.co.uk) and I hold professional insurance, work to the ethical framework of the BACP and maintain clinical supervision for your protection.
It's important to me that you feel safe and secure working with me, so we strive to be open and honest in our communication, set our own boundaries and talk about them.
I have been practicing Integrative Therapy since 2015, integrating CBT, Transactional Analysis (T.A.), Person Centred, PolyVagal/Somatic Theory, and Humanistic and Relational approaches to provide an individualized, non-judgemental counselling service to clients online and face to face.
I have worked extensively with addiction, anxiety and trauma, PTSD, people who have experienced abuse and coercive control, abandonment, neglect and loss, and people with autism.
I work with your 'whole self,' and through the therapeutic relationship we develop, (exploring your past, present and future, and how you experience thinking and feeling) we will find a way to find you clarity and a space to breathe.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Penny is very professional and very knowledgeable. She helped me through my weakest moments and understand my struggles.Thank you Penny!!
I plan to write a proper review but if these few words might help anyone : Penny listens on a deep level, picks up subtle cues, gets deep into the matter and uncovers many layers very quickly. Her gentle and intuitive way makes it very relaxing and effortless.
Penny is a wonderful therapist who is kind and patient, which I would argue is some of the most important qualities a therapist could have. She is absolutely brilliant and I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to feel more empowered and confident in themselves.
Penny has been an absolutely wonderful therapist. She asked me questions I had never been asked and helped me become a different person in 8 weeks. I will never forget this
Penny has been a brilliant therapsit for me over the past few months. She helped me control my anxiety and I feel as though I now have a completely different mindset and can take on any task without my anxiety getting the better of me. Penny is such a professional and gives the best tips and activities, I especially found the breathing techniques the most useful for me. I highly recommend Penny to anyone, I can't thank her enough for how much she has helped me.
Penny is not. Only a great therapist she is a kind and patient and understanding person I was really nervous to undertake. Therapy and From day one a first few sessions she helped me overcome my barriers and made me feel comfortable and confident She is helping me to understand myself better on each session. And I feel better for days After processing what penny. Has said in a session I would totally refer her to anyone if they where seeking help.
