Hello, I’m Penny (she/her) and I’m a qualified counsellor offering short or long-term therapy with an integrative approach. Is there something that is troubling you? Something you’d like to talk through, but with someone outside of family or friends? Perhaps you’re asking yourself some questions about who you are, what is going on in your life, or about the relationships you have? Maybe your feelings seem overwhelming, or you can’t identify what emotions you’re experiencing?

If you’d like to work on relieving feelings of depression, anxiety, stress or grief, or maybe talk about your relationships, be they friendships, partners, family or chosen family, please get in touch.

Additionally, as a trained gender, sexuality and relationship diversity (GSRD) counsellor I offer focused support for anyone within, or related to, the LGBTQIA+, kink, and polyamorous communities, which includes anyone who is exploring their sexuality, gender, or relationship dynamics, or for anyone who feels a GSRD counsellor might suit them best.

Whatever issue you’d like to bring to counselling it is my hope that our working together will help you find some clarity and peace

Regular appointments with me are 50 minutes long. I offer a free, initial 20 minute phone or video call to talk about whether I’m the right counsellor for you, and whether counselling is what you want. If this initial meeting goes well and you choose to proceed with therapy we will then have a first full-length session where we will discuss in detail what you wish to achieve from counselling, some history about you, and create a working agreement for future sessions.

I work face-to-face from a private office in Reading, Berkshire, and also online, which means I can work with people from all around the UK. Reading has good transport links, and my office is a short walk from the station if face-to-face is your preference. We can talk about where we will work together in our first call with each other.
