Penelope 'Penny' Davis, BACP, NCPS

Penelope 'Penny' Davis helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes. She is a calm presence who aims to help clients reconnect with their own strengths. Penny works in clear, respectful language and keeps meetings practical and focused on what matters to each person.

Penny has 11 years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She blends several approaches, using psychoeducation and mindfulness alongside psychodynamic and existential ideas. That mix is adapted to each person's situation rather than applied in the same way for everyone.

In sessions she treats people with sensitivity and without judgement. The work looks like talking through problems, noticing patterns that get in the way, and practising simple skills to cope day to day. She does not give directive advice or aim to 'fix' someone - the emphasis is on the client's own knowledge and choices.

Penny helps people explore relationship difficulties, family tensions, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. She also supports those wrestling with codependency, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife changes and women's issues. Sessions focus on small, realistic steps that feel manageable between meetings.

Taking the first step can feel daunting. Penny offers a steady, supportive environment and tailors each plan to what the client wants to achieve. She encourages people to reconnect with what matters and to build a life that feels more aligned with who they are.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy, reflection and acceptance to help someone feel heard and to build confidence in their own decisions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices. These techniques can help with stress, anxiety and recurring negative thoughts by building steady, moment-to-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Penny will discuss which methods feel most useful and adapt sessions to fit the client’s goals and preferences. The aim is to try things together and adjust what doesn’t help.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or help maintain continuity during periods of change. The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the exact online or in-person options before booking. Many people find that meeting remotely supports consistency and lets them bring therapy into their day-to-day routines.
