About Penny

Penny Farrelly is a counsellor who aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope. She focuses on simple, honest conversations so clients can make sense of what feels difficult. Penny keeps sessions warm, friendly and paced to each person.

Penny uses a person-centred or Client-Centred Therapy approach that places the client at the centre of the work. That means she listens to what matters to you and follows your pace rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Background and approach

Many people bring stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or career worries to sessions. She has four years of professional counselling experience and works from the United Kingdom as a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her experience includes supporting people with depression, motivation and confidence, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and addiction challenges.

Penny also focuses on concerns such as eating or sleeping difficulties, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Additional areas she notices in practice include adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric matters, chronic illness and life purpose questions. Sessions are conversational and aim to build understanding and practical ways to manage day-to-day pressures.

Penny invites people to explore what they want to change and to try small steps that fit their life. She encourages kindness toward oneself during that process.

Ways of working Penny names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-Centred care online and practical session options

Penny practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens with curiosity and respects each person's pace and choices. This approach helps when people feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes because it focuses on what the client wants to explore rather than a fixed method.

In sessions she aims to create a warm, accepting space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and try small changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; Penny will discuss options with clients and adapt the way she works based on their goals and preferences, so decisions are collaborative rather than imposed.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexibility and easier access. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit counselling around work, study or home life while keeping the focus on progress and understanding.
