hello i'm penny adams

a career built on real life experience

As a compassionate, experienced supervisor, I offer tailored support for counsellors, from students to seasoned professionals—specialising in business support, school counselling, and training future supervisors.

Alongside supervision, I offer The Counsellor’s Chair book and hybrid membership program—a practical, real-world framework designed to help you build an ethical, sustainable, and enjoyable private practice.

My unique blend of clinical, supervisory, and training experience ensures a nurturing and empowering environment for both personal growth and professional development. With a focus on best practice, confidence-building, and long-term success, I’m here to support your journey—wherever you’re starting from.
