Life's too short to be stressed or unhappy.
Counselling that gets Results
Creating solutions and peace of mind
for adults, couples, children, youth and families.
100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
We have all been living through an incredibly hard time.
The past two years has been been extremely difficult on all of us.
We’ve experienced unimaginable stress & overload, fear, uncertainty, anxiety, anger,
as well as mental and physical exhaustion.
And it continues.
We’ve felt powerless and helpless at times.
We’ve had our hopes raised and dashed.
Our mental health has been under constant attack.
Some of us just want to shut down. Others want to escape.
It’s been hard on adults and children, on couples and families.
Now, more than ever, we need to focus on our mental health, learning to lower our stress and anxiety.
Taking care of ourselves and the ones we love, and keeping our relationships and families strong has never been more important.
We are here to help.

We’re all about SOLUTIONS
It’s what we do.
At penney murphy & associates,
we’ll help you to find solutions
for anything that is causing you stress,
affecting your sense of well-being,
quality of life
or your happiness.
It’s so important to us to provide exceptional Counselling experiences.
So we ask our clients to rate and review their experience
to make sure we’re making a difference.
Here’s what they’re saying:
