About Penny
Penny Farrelly is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, stress and other tough life moments. She writes simply and listens closely so clients can make sense of what they are feeling. Penny aims to offer a calm, friendly space where people can talk at their own pace.
Penny practices client-centred therapy, which means she puts the person’s experience at the centre of each session. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to build on existing strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a speed that feels right for the individual rather than following a rigid plan. She has four years of professional counselling experience and is a BACP member. Penny has supported people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career worries and depression.
She also works with issues such as grief, trauma, relationship concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and ADHD-related challenges. Penny offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and the cost varies with location and therapist availability.
Sessions can be brief check-ins or longer conversations depending on what a client needs. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire. They then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
Penny aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can find clearer ways forward.
How client-centred care works online
Penny uses client-centred therapy online, which involves listening without judgement and following the client's lead. This approach helps people who struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, life changes and emotional overwhelm by focusing on the person's own goals and strengths.Sessions online can be conversational and flexible, mirroring face-to-face work but adapted to digital formats. The therapist aims to build rapport and a collaborative plan so the client helps shape what happens in therapy and how progress is measured.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for visual connection during longer sessions. Phone sessions can be helpful when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who like to write their thoughts, need flexible timing, or are fitting therapy around work or study.
Penny will work with each person to decide which format or combination feels most useful. She treats choice of format as part of the therapeutic process and adjusts methods to match the client's needs, goals and preferences.
