More about Penelope
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am an integrative therapist, with a background in person-centred humanistic counselling and I am registered with the BACP.
I have experience in helping clients with a broad spectrum of mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, relationships, dating, attachment issues, childhood trauma, inner child, neurodivergence, self image and confidence. I have experience within an NHS setting where I worked with a diverse variety of clients from all backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, sexualities, and genders.
I am very warm, open, and relaxed and feel that creativity and humour can be beneficial throughout therapy. I also have coaching experience so for people wanting therapy to explore the present or immediate future I can also help with goal setting and growth mindset.
I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual client, whether that is problem solving with logic, approaching issues with creativity, or exploring deeper emotions and traumas. I offer client led, zero judgement sessions where you are free to explore any issues and speak freely ensuring you feel heard. I will always offer clients additional resources if requested such as reading materials, podcasts, tv shows, worksheets etc. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, so I will encourage clients to explore themselves on a deeper level, gaining more self awareness, hoping to allow for self acceptance and self esteem.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
