Hello, everyone! My name is Emily Penney, RP (Qualifying). I am currently a student counsellor under the supervision of Dr. Laurie Ponsford-Hill at The Counselling House in Woodstock, Ontario. I believe in a biopsychosocial approach to counselling by which mind-body wellness is achieved by creating harmony between an individual’s social environment, personal thoughts and values, and biological make-up. As every individual is unique, so too should be their plan of treatment. Using an eclectic and integrative approach, I will draw upon a variety of theories and techniques to tailor a treatment plan specific to your individual needs.

My focus of my practice is that of relationship counselling. Relationship to self, others and the world is extremely important for healthy living. When something gets in the way of good relationship then sometimes it is really important to have a third parties insight into what might be going wrong and how to make changes to overcome what might be standing in the way. I see children, teens, individuals, couples, and families. We offer: anger management, domestic violence, relapse prevention, weight loss, anxiety, depression, conflict resolution, trauma resolution and Christian counselling programs.

It is our hope for you to be able to walk along your path confidently and successfully. However, we realize that sometimes in order to journey well on that path we require support. Like a well along the path offering sustenance and rejuvenation, health and wellness services can offer a place to process, learn and grow, so that you can once again journey well. We work to create positive change and enhance physical and mental well-being through genuine connection.

I believe that you are the author of your own story. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and non-judgemental space within which you can share your concerns and hopes; allowing you to grow, explore and understand your emotions and how they impact you and your relationships. I am committed to understanding your unique needs, strengths, and goals. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression and the impacts of trauma. I support couples and individuals to overcome relationship challenges and deepen their connections to each other.

As a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, I have a keen interest in working with youth and adults experiencing a variety of life challenges. There are several concerns that I can help people work through including depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, self-esteem, anger, separation issues, as well as others. I recognize that we are all unique and that everyone is the expert of their own situation. I am merely a guide to help work through challenges and accomplish goals.

We are all on a journey, our own journey. Sometimes that journey has bumps, twists, turns, and roadblocks that are super tough. Having someone to ride along beside you on your journey, even just for a short time, can be helpful. I have 24+ years experience supporting young people with a variety of struggles including anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, stress, behavioural struggles, emotional regulation, self-esteem, authentic self, parent-child relationships, and substance abuse. I love to walk young people through the exploration of their story and to encourage them to become the best version of themselves.

You are not alone! Everyone, at some point in their life, has faced a challenge that has left them feeling helpless and distraught in some way. The worst part is facing these issues without support. If you are struggling, I am here to help you.

Sometimes life hands us some situations that are difficult to manage on our own, despite doing the best we can with what we have available to us. If you are looking for additional support along this journey, I will work alongside you, and or your child to explore a particular mental health concern, key changes you are looking to make or developing a different understanding of yourself and or particular situations while potentially gaining awareness and insights into why these situations occur. I utilize a variety of different modalities, and have training in areas such as CBT, DBT, Brief Narrative Therapy, Trauma and Attachment.

It is our passion to help restore hope and healing by walking a journey alongside you. Everyone is faced with suffering in his/her life, and "at times" this suffering seems overwhelming. Counselling and psychotherapy provides an opportunity to gain insight, tools, and treatment toward restoration and healing. We provide support to individuals (children, youth and adults), couples and families as we believe that health is greater when individuals, couples and families receive care and support.

I believe that the relationship between a counsellor and a client is deeply personal and collaborative so finding the ‘right-fit’ is pivotal to successful therapy; a strong therapeutic relationship is essential in creating an environment that fosters change and personal growth. I practice with a variety of clinical skills to support extensive variety of client issues; however, I am passionate in supporting my clients in areas of stress, grief, anxiety and depression. I use techniques from various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy, and solution-focused therapy.
