About me
Hi, I`m Penny a friendly, down to earth, and deeply caring Counsellor/Psychotherapist (Dip.Couns. MBACP).I work long or short term with individual adults (16 +) and couples confidentially, face to face, online and telephone counselling. I am experienced in a vast array of complex client issues please feel reassured you are in safe hands. I am confident in my practice and many clients see incredible results.
Choosing the right therapist is crucial to your outcome, our relationship is going to be a huge part of your ability to engage openly. With this said I offer a free 15-45 minute assessment which enables a potential client to explore what it is they are seeking and whether we both feel we would work well together. If you feel you would like to proceed I offer a free trial 30 minute therapy session via zoom/telephone to ensure you feel I am the right therapist for you. There is no obligation and the choice is yours as to whether you would like to book further sessions.

I would like to share with you that through my own therapy over 25 years ago I now have a happy and fulfilling contented life. I became a Counsellor as I know first hand how powerful therapy can be ,I wanted to share this with others who like me were feeling desperate and hopeless.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
