About Penelope

Penelope "Penny" Noble is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to support people facing stress, anxiety and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with individuals who are coping with grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges around self-esteem and LGBT matters. Penny holds BACP accreditation and practises in the United Kingdom.

She believes people know their own stories best and brings a listening style that puts the person at the centre.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the individual and building on their existing strengths. That makes practical steps easier to spot and try out between meetings. Across 23 years of practice Penny has helped people navigate major life changes and ongoing strain.

Her experience includes supporting those dealing with compassion fatigue and people diagnosed with bipolar disorder, always tailoring pace and focus to what the client needs. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where concerns can be talked through without hurry. Penny uses everyday language in sessions and helps people translate insights into manageable actions.

She will work alongside a client to set goals and check progress over time. Her style is calm and steady, with an emphasis on listening and mutual planning. People who choose to work with Penny typically want a thoughtful, person-led approach to difficult issues.

She offers a range of session formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and she will discuss which option suits each person when they start.

Ways of working Penelope names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred care offered online

Client-centred therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what is said, helping the individual clarify what matters and identify their own next steps. This approach suits people working through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and the effects of trauma and abuse.

In practice, the counsellor offers steady, non-directive support and helps clients notice strengths they already have. Conversations aim to feel collaborative rather than led by the therapist, so goals and the pace of work come from the client’s priorities.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about what they hope to achieve and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. That collaborative planning helps to shape sessions and any actions between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, quick reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties and busy days.
