One year after meeting Penny for the first time I can't even put into words how much she changed my entire life. Not only has Penny helped me to move on from my trauma but she has given me a whole set of resources to cope with life confidently and independently: I feel like a different person!

At our first session you identified a number of serious and longstanding issues that I had been suppressing for a very long time. You offered me talking therapy or EMDR and I chose EMDR. Although painful, EMDR is so quick and effective that it does feel like magic. I would recommend it to anyone.
