About Penny

Penny Farrelly helps people talk through stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career worries and depression using a person-centred approach. She works by listening, reflecting and supporting each person to find their own way forward. Penny is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional counselling experience.

Penny uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the client's perspective and builds on their strengths. Sessions are driven by what the client brings, with the counsellor offering non-directive support and reflection. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and life changes.

In the room she pays attention to everyday concerns such as sleep, work stress, coping after loss and difficulties with self-worth. She also works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues connected to adoption or foster care. Practical topics like workplace difficulties, career choices and coping with chronic health problems are part of her practice too.

Penny speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom. Her practice includes support for LGBT concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, eating and food-related issues, and the emotional effects of cancer or long-term illness. She also sees clients dealing with loneliness, midlife questions and finding life purpose.

If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the site matching process and book a first session. The first meetings focus on establishing what matters to the client and agreeing how to work together.

How her person-centred approach works in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what the client says and supports the client to make sense of their situation. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Penny will discuss what helps, consider the client's goals and preferences, and agree a way of working that feels right. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Check the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or treatment commitments. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions where being on camera is optional to reduce bandwidth or screen time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while working through the issues that matter to the client.
