Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Penny Ralston
Penny uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-based approach that helps people notice and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is often useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with motivation by identifying small, testable changes that make daily life more manageable.
She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches present-focused awareness and simple attention practices. Mindfulness can support emotional regulation, reduce rumination, and help people respond to stress with greater clarity rather than reacting automatically.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Penny treats that as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to clarify goals, try techniques, and tailor methods to fit individual needs and preferences so that the plan feels workable and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, balance therapy with work or family commitments, and access support from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
