About Penelope
Penelope 'Penny' Davis offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or big life changes. She aims to help people build confidence, recover from trauma and abuse, and find clearer direction in midlife. Penny writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.
Penny works in a gentle, person-focused way. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s pace and priorities. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people stay present and manage difficult feelings in the moment.
Background and approach
With 11 years of experience, Penny blends different approaches, including psychodynamic and existential ideas, to look at patterns and meaning in life. That mix helps when someone wants to understand where their difficulties come from and how to change them. She pays attention to issues such as compassion fatigue, codependency, guilt and shame, and social anxiety.
She also supports people exploring self-love, life purpose and women’s issues. The work is practical - learning ways to cope day to day and to notice what matters most. Penny says she will not fix or give simple answers.
Instead she aims to create a respectful space where people can name their struggles and try new ways of being. Taking the first step can feel hard and she offers steady support as people find their own path.

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. These techniques can reduce intense worry and help with stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and will suggest which elements from different approaches might suit you best. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is useful. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send messages between sessions or use writing as a way to reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
