Experienced counsellor providing support when life is difficult

I am a professional counsellor with over 12 years post qualifying experience. I work in an integrative way. This means I am trained in a variety of approaches and I adapt the approach that I am using to suit your needs.

I provide a calm, safe and supportive environment for you to explore whatever you choose. I am trained in areas including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), solution focused therapy, therapeutic coaching and narrative therapy.

Using a person-centred approach, I follow your needs and work at your pace. I am experienced at working with anxiety, depresssion, stress, burnout and trauma. I’m relaxed and friendly in my approach and work in a lovely garden cabin.

I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellor and Psychotherapists (BACP).

I am also a fully qualified supervisor and work as a supervisor of other counsellors.

I came to Penny with some difficult issues and she was really practical, offering suggestions for techniques that I’ve put into practice. I have found using several CBT techniques particularly helpful for controlling anxiety.
