She worked for a time in England before moving to Switzerland where she continued to work as a nurse.
Later, Penny changed track and trained as a Counsellor, obtaining a diploma in Clinical and Pastoral Counselling plus further diplomas as a Crisis Counsellor and for Major Incident Counselling.
It was while Penny was counselling in Switzerland that on 3 separate occasions, families came to her for help with teenage daughters thought to be anorexic.
This opened a new dimension in her counselling and Penny trained with the National Centre for Eating Disorders in Esher, Surrey.
She now counsels people with eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia nervosa, binge eating and obesity as well as general counselling.
CHANGING SHAPE has been put together from Penny's own experience of being ill and being advised by her doctors to lose weight, and of a the lack of counselling to help her change her eating patterns. Plus lots from her training at the NCFED.lihat lebih sedikit
