Penelope “Penny” Williamson is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom. She trained in person-centred humanistic counselling and is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

She works with a broad spectrum of mental health and relational concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship and dating difficulties, attachment issues, childhood trauma and inner child work, neurodivergence, and challenges around self-image and confidence.

Penny has experience working within an NHS setting, supporting clients from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, sexualities and genders. Her manner is warm, open and relaxed, and she considers creativity and humour to be useful elements within therapeutic work.

With additional experience in coaching, she is able to support people who wish to focus on the present or immediate future through practical goal-setting and fostering a growth mindset. She tailors her approach to each individual, whether that involves logical problem solving, creative techniques, or exploring deeper emotions and traumas.

Sessions are client-led and offered without judgement, giving people space to explore issues and feel heard. Penny can provide extra resources on request, such as reading suggestions, podcasts, television recommendations and worksheets.

She views therapy as a collaborative process that encourages deeper self-awareness, with the aim of promoting greater self-acceptance and improved self-esteem.
