About Penny
Penny Farrelly is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults on common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career worries and depression. Penny also supports people facing life changes, relationship strains, grief and issues related to addiction and ADHD.
Penny practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means she treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people clarify what matters to them. Conversations aim to slow things down so practical steps can become clearer.
In the room she uses straightforward discussion rather than jargon. People can expect to talk through current problems, notice patterns, and try out different ways of coping. She also works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, chronic illness, workplace difficulties and becoming an adult - including young adult issues like leaving home, starting work and feeling behind.
Penny is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Her background is four years of counselling practice in the UK. She offers support for emotional challenges that commonly occur in early adulthood and beyond.
Sessions are conducted in English. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the platform’s matching steps to choose their session and schedule a first appointment. Costs vary by location and are billed through a cancellable subscription model.
How Client-Centred practice works online
Penny uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the conversation on the client’s experience. This approach involves open listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you clarify your own goals. It is suited to issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and stress.That style tends to focus on the here-and-now of your concerns rather than a fixed set of techniques. The counsellor’s role is to follow your lead, ask questions that help you notice patterns, and support you as you test new ways of coping. This is a collaborative process where goals and methods are agreed together.
Formats for sessions were not specified in the biography, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit counselling around study or work, reduce travel time, and let someone have shorter check-ins when a full hour is hard to manage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt how sessions run to match your needs and practical constraints.
