About Penelope
Penelope 'Penny' Davis is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and NCPS, with 11 years of client work in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, compassion fatigue and life changes. Social anxiety and phobia are listed among her focus areas.
Penny uses a blend of approaches that include psychoeducation and mindfulness. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can use between meetings as well as reflective conversation in the room. She avoids giving prescriptive advice and instead helps clients notice what matters to them and what they already know about themselves.
Her style draws on client-centred ideas by listening to each person’s priorities and working at their pace. Existential themes, such as meaning and life direction, are explored when people are facing crossroads or midlife questions. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress, rumination and emotional overwhelm.
Psychodynamic ideas may be used to understand patterns that repeat in relationships and in how people relate to themselves. Penny aims to help clients name recurring habits such as codependency, guilt or shame so they can try different ways of responding.
She frames the work as collaborative and practical. Sessions look at current problems and small experiments people can try between meetings. To begin, the site’s booking flow asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and prioritising what matters to the person. Online sessions can keep to that same pace, with the counsellor reflecting back what the client brings and helping them decide next steps. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and life direction, which can be discussed conversationally to clarify values and decisions. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily feeling, useful for stress and anxiety and easily practised between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through what helps most, check goals and try different ways of working until there is a good fit. This is a collaborative process where preferences and practicalities guide choices.
The biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example avoiding travel, joining from a quieter spot or choosing a shorter check-in when time is limited. It also allows exercises and mindfulness tasks to be shared and reviewed between meetings. Registered and accredited professionals often use these benefits to help the work continue steadily alongside everyday responsibilities.
