Penny Lippett
My clients report that they start feeling better after the first session.
Whether you are struggling to communicate, facing separation or recovering from a relationship breakdown. Because the right relationship support can bring clarity and calm faster than you think.
I work with people who need a place to slow down, talk things through, make sense of what’s happening, and feel more like themselves again. My style is active, present, and engaged — I don’t sit back and simply nod. I’m here with you. I help you untangle the truth, understand the dynamics underneath, and find clearer, more hopeful ways forward, whether you come as an individual or as a couple seeking support.

My approach is warm, practical, and grounded. I help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, recognise the patterns that leave you feeling stuck, and begin to reclaim the steadiness and connection you’ve been longing for.
