Your Partner in Professional Growth, Counselling Supervision, and a Thriving Career

As an experienced counsellor I help Australian counsellors, from students to seasoned professionals, with affordable and experienced individual and group counselling supervision so that they can develop and grow in their careers and businesses.

With extensive experience in counselling supervision, and a specialisation in business support, school counselling, and training future supervisors, I bring a unique and supportive approach to every counselling supervision session, fostering an environment where counsellors feel empowered, encouraged, and equipped to navigate the challenges and triumphs of their profession.

WHAT DOES COUNSELLING SUPERVISION INCLUDE?

Counselling supervision is designed to be a supportive peer-to-peer relationship that provides accountability, growth, collaboration and development at any stage of your counselling career. Anyone registered with an Association in Australia is required to have counselling supervision.

YOU’RE NOT ALONE COUNSELLING CAN HELP

You might find yourself here right now because

You don't know what else to do

You’ve tried everything to solve this issue and nothing has worked.

It’s affecting your life and relationships. You find yourself distracted at work, worrying at night, distant from loved ones. Stressed and anxious about what to do.

This is your last hope

Your relationship is at crisis point – you’ve tried but it’s the same arguments – the same hurt and pain.

You can’t handle this on your own anymore and you worry that soon there won’t be a relationship.

Life just sucks right now

You’ve come to the end of yourself, you know that something needs to change .

But you are not sure what to do or how to do it – you need help, someone who can help you make sense of things – someone who hears you.

You struggle to say no

You find yourself saying yes to everyone all the time. This leaves you drained and stressed.

You're constantly feeling overwhelmed

Stress and overwhelm is getting on top of you. It is affecting your thinking, you worry all the time and have trouble sleeping.

Wondering what happened to your life

You realise you’re in a rut, caught on the treadmill of life and wonder what happened to all your goals and dreams.

OUR ONLINE EMDR and COUNSELLING SERVICES

Online counselling via telehealth is the way of the future, allowing unrestricted access to services across Australia and reduced wait times. No need to spend hours in the car driving to counselling or wasting money on excessive fuel costs.

We are committed to bringing counselling services to the communities of South Australia that would otherwise be disadvantaged due to distance.

We believe that all people regardless of their location should be able to access professional, affordable counselling.

Hi I’M PENNY ADAMS

Kind Client Feedback

“Penny is an amazing counsellor who never judged me, she listened was supportive and was always very professional”

I contacted Penny when I was very lost in life and feeling as though I didn’t have a purpose. I was feeling numb, emotionless and very broken. Penny guided me and gave me the tools I needed for me to reconnect with my emotions and feelings in a way not to overwhelm me which then helped me find my way back to where I am today. I have goals and dreams and my relationships with family and friends has never been better.

Counselling Supervision Feedback

“I have found counselling supervision with Penny to be an priceless investment into my career as a counsellor”

Penny has vast knowledge and experience and readily shares all she can to help cover every aspect of the client’s wellbeing, legal and ethical issues, counsellor self-care, business building, as well as skill sharing and enhancing.

I see so much growth in myself as a counsellor in private practice due to the guidance and professional support Penny has generously provided me with. I recommend Penny’s supervision services to anyone without hesitation.

SHARNE KILSBY ~ SHILOH WITHIN COUNSELLING

Penny’s step by step instructions on things to consider in all areas for business set up were the fundamental steps I needed to begin, and made the whole process so much easier to navigate.

THE COUNSELLORS CHAIR

THE PROVEN FRAMEWORK FOR PRIVATE PRACTICE SUCCESS

In 2024, I embarked on the adventure of writing my own book! So many counsellors came to me for Private Practice support and I thought about how I could help as many as possible start and grow their own businesses at an affordable cost.

The Counsellors Chair: The Proven Framework for Private Practice Success was birthed and in June 2025 I officially launced my book. 

Written exclusively for Australian Counsellors
No hype, promises, cookie cutter formulas or income claims!
