As the wife of a pastor, Penne discovered a natural gift that drew people to her, and as the congregation sought her wisdom, guidance and perspective, she found herself “accidentally counselling” for many years! While watching a presentation on how to better support congregational members through counselling, she and her husband felt a strong calling to this field and began training in 2018. With a Diploma of Teaching (Primary), Diploma of Lutheran Education, Bachelor of Education, Graduate Diploma of Counselling and Psychotherapy(Spiritual) Penne worked in private practice for several years. Her interests in counselling are diverse and include counselling for depression, anxiety, stress, burn-out, trauma, distorted thinking, anger, and abuse recovery.

She also offers counselling and instruction around empathy, recovery, resilience, values, forgiveness, identity, rebuilding emotions and relationships.
