About

Pennie Sheppard is an experienced MBACP Integrative Counsellor and an FHT Therapeutic Body Psychotherapist who offers online counselling from the United Kingdom. With 15 years of practice, she has worked with a wide range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, coping with life changes, relationship problems, grief, anger, depression and compassion fatigue.

She combines integrative talking therapies with therapeutic body-focused approaches, allowing clients to explore emotional and physical responses at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Her work also draws on Gestalt therapy, mindfulness, breathing and relaxation techniques to support clients as they discover links between mind and body during the healing process.

Pennie treats each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet individual needs. She welcomes adults seeking help from a female, older therapist perspective and is able to work with people of Christian faith as well as those who are non-religious.

She offers online sessions designed to help people express painful feelings, rebuild motivation and cope with everyday life when challenges make it hard to stay positive. Pennie looks forward to supporting clients on their journey and often shares the reminder: “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf” (Jon Kabat-Zinn).

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people ask whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

A major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations.

Each therapist available is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy provides an accessible route to professional support for many common mental health and life challenges.
