Penelope 'Penny' Grigg, BACP

Penelope 'Penny' Grigg uses a person-centred approach at the heart of her work. She meets people where they are and focuses on building a trusting relationship. Penny combines practical talking techniques with attention to emotions and everyday coping skills. She is known for a calm, direct style that helps people find clearer ways to manage stress and difficult feelings.

Penny is a BACP member, which she maintains alongside professional insurance and regular clinical supervision. She has practised since 2015 and brings nine years of experience to sessions. Her background includes substantial work with addiction, anxiety, trauma and post-traumatic stress concerns.

She also supports people facing challenges with grief, eating and sleeping, chronic pain and long-term illness, and ADHD. Penny pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, and she helps people explore how past experiences shape present relationships. Conversations often look at both thinking patterns and bodily reactions to stress.

Penny aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She will help set boundaries, agree goals, and review progress as work continues. The focus is on practical steps you can use day to day alongside deeper reflection.

Penny offers sessions in English and practises in the United Kingdom. If you are looking for help with coping, clarity, or adjusting to life changes, she invites a first conversation to see if her way of working feels right for you.

How Penny's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship and on understanding your experience from your point of view. It helps when someone needs a listening space and support to make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. Existential Therapy addresses questions about meaning, choice and purpose and can help when life changes or losses feel overwhelming.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Penny works collaboratively to identify which methods suit your goals and preferences. She will check in and adapt the way you work together as you progress.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep continuity of care if life or health issues make attending in person difficult. Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, commonly use online sessions to help people manage stress, cope with chronic illness or adjust to major life changes.
