Hello, everyone! My name is Emily Penney (CRPO-Q) and 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. While my background is in behavior management, I am interested in working with clients who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more.

I support couples and individuals to overcome relationship challenges and deepen their connections to each other.

I value every opportunity to come alongside those who are struggling, working together to find a way through the difficult periods in their lives. It is my goal to help individuals explore ways to overcome personal challenges in order to look forward to the future with a sense of hope. At certain times in our lives we all need someone who will truly listen and accept us for who we are, and I offer that safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing you from living the life you want.

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.

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.

Knowing someone is there to listen and support as we accept difficult circumstances or make decisions for change can help us move through these challenging times. Areas of focus are anxiety, depression, coping strategies, workplace issues, caregiver burnout, palliative/end of life, grief and loss, chronic pain and illness.

I have been honoured and dedicated to work with children, youth and their families for over 27 years. I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients are heard and valued. My easygoing and practical approach allows me to effectively connect with children, youth and their families. Within the therapeutic process, children and families feel understood and develop the tools they need to manage "life's storms". I believe that it is essential to view children and youth within the context of their family and as such, I regularly provide parental guidance and strategies.

My philosophy on which I base my practice is that it is through relationship we both wound and heal. I believe the relationship formed in counseling is one of combined expertise, you as the expert on your life, and the expertise I can provide because of my training as a clinical social worker. In our work together, your goals to resolve presenting issues will be our focus. Ultimately, I would like to accompany you on your journey toward health, wholeness and healing in your life. I am currently accepting new clients.

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.

It can be overwhelming to manage your children’s behaviours and know how to best support them when they are challenged with their “big emotions”. These emotions can stem from a wide variety of reasons and I am here to help you process these emotions and work together on your parenting journey. Over the past 25 plus years, my expertise has focused on supporting children (0 to 12 years old) that struggle with attachment, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, depression and/or sensory processing. I pride myself on my ability to “connect” and form relationships with my clients.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “No one ever said life would be easy.” This is certainly true, but the reality is that for many of us, life is more difficult than it needs to be. When life hits us hard, we can get stuck in a vicious cycle of anxiety or depression, and sometimes we need someone to help us see the cycle from the outside so we can develop the resilience to cope.

Things seem pretty awful right now, and you're wondering if you'll ever feel "okay". You're looking for someone who can listen without judgement, help you learn new coping skills, and create a plan to feel better. I believe that every person lives a life with unique challenges and that providing personalized care requires unique solutions. A "cookie cutter" approach simply won't work - instead, we will get to know one-another, and create a plan to help you feel better together. You deserve to be seen as an individual with a unique therapeutic approach that fits who you are, and who you want to be.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* 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 22+ 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.

As a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer counselling services to adult clients, on an individual basis or as a couple. There are many different concerns that I can help clients process, including relationship issues, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, women's issues, and life transitions. There are no pre-requisites to counselling; I will work to meet clients where they are at on their journey and help them process from there. Depending on the concerns, I have a strong network of resources (both community and other professionals) that we can access if necessary.
