I have been working with Penelope since January 2024. I have found my sessions with Penelope extremely helpful in providing me with the right skills and tools to assist me when I feel my mental health decline. These skills have helped me develop healthier habits in managing my anxiety and depression. I have learned to see things from a different perspective. Having someone to confide in without judgement and understanding has been very beneficial to me. I feel I can express myself in a safe environment, to be listened to, to feel heard and valued. This has helped me grow confidence, increase my self esteem and overall self awareness. Thank you!
Seeing a counsellor for the first time I was rather hesitant but Penelope soon put me at ease. She was patient, friendly, and supportive, and I found myself opening up to her, telling her things I had not shared with anyone. After only four sessions, I found my mental health had improved dramatically. I will have no hesitation in seeing her again, or recommending her to others.
Working with Penelope these past months has greatly assisted me in identifying my trauma and how to overcome its side effects. Penelope is incredibly knowledgeable, down to earth and patient.
Penelope has been my counsellor for over a year. I’ve found her very helpful in overcoming chronic self doubt and in rebuilding my social life after the end of a long term relationship and the isolation of the COVID pandemic. She’s patient, kind and knowledgeable, very trustworthy and professional, with more than just one way to approach a problem. She’s easy to talk to and I’ve never felt judged which has made it easier to talk about things that I’m embarrassed about.
I am incredibly grateful to have found Penelope during a time of personal turmoil. From our first session, she created a warm and welcoming environment where I felt safe to open up about my struggles. What sets Penelope apart is her genuine empathy and ability to truly connect with clients. She didn’t just provide textbook solutions; instead she tailored our sessions to address my specific needs and challenges. Through her guidance, I gained valuable tools and strategies to manage my anxiety. I wholeheartedly recommend Penelope to anyone seeking a supportive and caring counsellor. I am grateful to have had her as a guiding light on my path.
Penelope is a wonderful psychotherapist. After trying a few over the years I couldn’t find that one that “got it”, understood where I was coming from. She was able to help me focus on my internal narrative and learn to acknowledge what it was saying and use my own power to quiet the ever present negative language. As a result of learning to do this I have been able to function and grow and not listen to that negative voice. It’s always there but I can now choose not to listen to it. My life is calmer and happier and I focus less on the “should” and more on what is.
