About me

My practice
Penelope is a Certified Practicing Counsellor who moved back to the central west of NSW in 2021. She is a caring, kind, self-aware counsellor with a wealth of experience. Having started her career as a Registered Nurse then moving into the corporate world, her desire to truly connect and help people brought her back to counselling. Having spent most of her adult life living overseas, she has returned to not far from where she grew up on a sheep and wheat farm, in the states central west.

Penelope’s passion is to help people find their inner strength, to heal and process un resolved issues. Penelope’s skill is to help her clients relocate that inner strength and live the best and happiest version of themselves.

Penelope uses a wide range of counselling modalities, but first and foremost she takes a Person-Centred approach. After all, you are the expert of yourself… Penelope draws on a range of therapeutic modalities including Person Centred Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Mindfulness, Gestalt Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment Theory depending on what best suits the client, all of which helps you to help yourself.

Every individuals journey is unique and sessions with Penelope reflect that. She has an ability to match the clients’ needs with their own journey in a very grounded and down to earth manner.
