Welcome to Online Counselling, I am a MBACP Integrative Counsellor and FHT Therapeutic Body Psychotherapist.
With over 14 years experience in helping clients with stress, depression, anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, dissociation disorders, PTSD, long term illness, MS, fibromyalgia, learning disabilities, and forms of autism spectrum disorders.
Online Counselling provides an opportunity to explore a personal difficulty in a confidential and supportive environment. This may include expressing feelings that are painful, and which many of us experience at times in certain periods in our lives. When this happens it can be difficult to stay positive and cope with everyday life. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
As a Therapeutic Body Psychotherapist we can explore at your own pace, choice and time. Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness, Breathing and Relaxation techniques can help you with this process and helps you alongside your self-discovery of your mind, body and soul healing journey.
I look forward to supporting you on your Journey.

Pennie has done what no other therapist could do for me. In just two sessions, she got me excited about life again, and helped me believe in myself. She is truly a blessing!

No other therapist I’d want! She’s been amazing, supportive and challenges me to be the best person I can be and to reach my full potential!

Pennie is Fantastic!
She listens, she hears the pain and works with you to help you come out the other side.
Some things are quite quick and solutions are found fast. Others are hidden and take time to come out before they can be healed. Pennie always seems to know which to follow with divine timing.
Truely blessed to have her in my life. It's like having a walking talking guardian angel

Wonderful therapist who enables you to connect with the mind soul and body, entirely. Highly recommend for anyone starting therapy, or who has been to therapy before and has felt 'stuck'.

Pennie is simply amazing! She is very attentive to details and listens very well. She gives you resources that will help you understand and put into practice what was learnt. Her voice is calm and soothing and makes sharing with her so easy.

Awesome therapist and great person. I’ve been in a number of therapy sessions with different therapists and she is by far the best i’ve had. She seems to dissect me, as well as listen to the insight that i provide through our sessions. Great therapist. Highly recommend.
