About Penny

Penny Farrelly welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn next. She writes simply and kindly, and aims to help people talk through stress, anxiety, low self esteem and life transitions. Penny is clear that the first step can feel worrying, so she keeps sessions warm and unhurried.

Penny practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens closely and supports people to find their own solutions. She works at a pace set by the person in the room and focuses on what matters most to them. Typical concerns she helps with include career pressures, depression, addiction struggles, relationship strain and grief.

Her background includes four years of professional counselling experience. Penny is a BACP member, which is listed as her credential. She offers therapy from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

Penny also helps with a range of related issues such as sleep problems, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD challenges. She can support people facing major life changes, midlife questions, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and practical workplace difficulties.

Person-centred care and how it works online

Penny uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on giving people space to tell their story. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and reflects what she hears back. This approach often helps with anxiety, low self esteem, life changes and relationship concerns by boosting self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Penny treats the choice of method as collaborative and will help decide what fits the person’s goals and preferences. Sessions are shaped around the issues someone brings, and changes can be made if a different focus feels more helpful later on.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins during a workday. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, need a shorter session or want to meet from a familiar location. Registered or accredited professionals can support these practical benefits while working to meet individual needs.
