Penny Cole Counselling

Why come to therapy?

Counselling and psychotherapy involves a communication between two people who are committed to helping you find your own meanings and answers to your problems. At times it can be an emotional journey during which you may find out more about yourself than you might have imagined possible, and the as therapist, I will be there to provide expert guidance, support and comfort.

There is no fixed amount of time over which the counselling takes place - it is always up to you to decide how long the therapy should last. The number of sessions could be as few as 4 or can stretch over a longer period of time. The main benefit you will derive from the process is the ability to explore your life and difficulties, and discover your own solutions with someone who is professionally trained and qualified to listen, without judgment.

What Conditions Can it Help?

Therapy offers the opportunity to address wide range of problems. Sometimes these involve difficult feelings and sometimes they involve physical complaints that have no apparent medical cause.


I can offer different strategies for helping you to feel better. As your counsellor, I work within an integrated therapeutic model that includes cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This is a goal-orientated therapy, designed to help you become more independent, self-fulfilled and to achieve lasting personal growth and change. I will respect your values, your freedom of choice, your sexuality, cultural background and your individuality.
