Penny Ralston

Hi, my name's Penny and I'm a counsellor and CBT therapist. If this is your first time accessing counselling thank you for looking at my profile. Please email me if you have any questions or if you would like more information. My approach to therapy is to find out what your needs and expectations are. Then together we can use our time to support you best whether its working towards specific goals, focusing on specific difficulties or simply having a place to talk freely without judgement.

About me and my practice

I work specifically with a CBT approach which looks at our thoughts (cognitive) and behaviours and the effect they have on each other. The emphasis on behavioural or cognitive approaches will depend on the issue you are facing. For example, if you are suffering from anxiety or depression, the focus may be on the cognitive approach.

The course of CBT can be anywhere from six weeks to six months, depending on your circumstances. Usually, you will attend one session a week, with each session lasting from 50 minutes to an hour. However, this is purely for guidance and sessions will be adapted to each clients individual needs.
