Evidence-based techniques and accessible online care
Penny works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. These skills-focused strategies are practical and often used to reduce stress, manage anxiety, address addictive behaviours, and build confidence and motivation.
She also draws on approaches that support processing and recovery after trauma and abuse, helping people to make sense of difficult experiences, build coping capacity, and develop healthier relational patterns. These methods can be tailored to address attachment concerns, shame, or issues around self-worth.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Penny aims to work with each person to identify which techniques suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access registered professionals and therapists from home or elsewhere. This variety supports continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments while making it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
