Approaches Penny lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Penny’s practice uses client-centred principles to create a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful, adapt the pace and review progress together. Finding the right style of therapy is part of the work and she will guide people in choosing what fits their needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when digital bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or a more flexible rhythm of contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments and to access support from different locations.
