About Penelope

Penelope 'Penny' Davis meets people where they are and helps them untangle sharp, everyday struggles. She understands how stress, anxiety and low self-esteem can make life feel heavy. Penny writes plainly and listens closely to what a person says and doesn’t say.

She offers calm, patient support while people work towards clearer priorities and choices. Penny uses an integrated approach that draws on existential ideas, client-centred attitudes, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking.

Background and approach

That means conversations look at current feelings, life meaning and the habits that keep people stuck. Mindfulness practices are sometimes used to steady attention and body sensations during anxious moments. She has 11 years of experience working with issues such as relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and compassion fatigue.

Additional focus areas include codependency, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife concerns, self-love, social anxiety and women’s issues. Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth, with steps to try between meetings. Penny believes people already hold important resources and values inside them.

Her role is to help those qualities re-emerge and guide decisions that feel more authentic. She does not offer quick fixes or give unsolicited advice; instead she helps clients name what matters and try different ways of being. Work is tailored to each person’s pace and needs.

Penny supports people who want clearer direction, steadier coping, and a gentler relationship with themselves.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Existential Therapy encourages people to look at life’s big questions and personal values, helping when life feels empty, stuck or uncertain. It focuses on meaning, choice and responsibility rather than quick fixes.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s priorities, which is useful for rebuilding confidence and self-trust.

Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to help calm the body and reduce overwhelm during anxious or depressive episodes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as people try different ways of reflecting and coping.

Online sessions are delivered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping therapeutic continuity.
