Testimonials
"Penny is an excellent therapist. I saw Penny following a bereavement which had uncovered some other deep seated issues which needed addressing. She is caring, empathetic and non judgmental. She helped me to understand the difficulties I was experiencing by explaining the psychology behind my anxieties. I felt uplifted each week after talking to her and the cloud hanging over me began to lift. Penny also challenged some of the things I thought and some of the ways I lived which has been very liberating. She has encouraged my free spirited nature to come to the fore and in doing so, helped me to move forward from my grief. I thoroughly recommend Penny to any one experiencing difficulties"
"Penny is the full package. She is an expert in her field and makes it work because she has that innate ability to connect with you. Penny clearly has a passion for what she does and is driven by the desire to resolve issues and fulfil potential in everyone she works with. In a therapist I was looking for a complex set of clinical and personal skills that gave me the best chance of resolving some deeply imbedded issues. In all honesty I could not have asked for more from my sessions with Penny and am grateful for her support."
"Penny's assistance for more than 18 months was absolutely invaluable. Her incite into the human condition has helped me understand so much more about myself and others. Non judgemental and non prescriptive, she shares her thoughts and views in a way that is clear, constructive, relevant and thought-provoking, based on many years of professional experience. I genuinely looked forward to our sessions and can only thank Penny for helping me unlock many things that had been holding me back on a personal level."
