Penelope Fenner is a psychologist based in Glen Iris, Victoria. Her practice is at 23a Britten Street, Glen Iris VIC 3146. Penelope works with people and families who want extra support to make things feel more manageable day to day.
Sessions can be a good fit for individuals who are dealing with stress and want practical ways to cope. At times, life can get overwhelming, and it can be hard to switch off your mind. In therapy, Penelope helps you slow things down, sort through what’s going on, and build healthier patterns that are easier to stick with.
Penelope also offers support for couples. Relationship issues often show up in the small stuff first, like arguments that keep repeating, poor communication, or feeling disconnected. Couples counselling can give space to talk things through safely, and to work on ways of relating that feel more steady and respectful.
For families, Penelope provides family therapy when there’s tension at home or when everyone is struggling to find common ground. Family sessions can help people understand what’s driving the strain, and make room for clearer expectations and better ways to respond to each other.
There are also group therapy sessions available. Sometimes it helps to realise you’re not the only one dealing with certain challenges. Groups can bring a sense of support and shared experience, while still giving you structure to learn and practise what works.
Stress management techniques are a key part of how Penelope supports clients. That might look like learning simple strategies to handle pressure, improve coping skills, and reduce the impact stress has on sleep, mood, and daily routines. Over time, these tools can help you feel more in control, even when things don’t go perfectly.
Penelope’s experience comes from working with clients across different kinds of therapy, including individual, couples, family, and group settings. She aims to keep sessions grounded and practical, so progress feels realistic rather than forced. The focus is on what’s happening for you right now, and what you can do next.
Penelope is a psychologist who looks after wellbeing in a calm, down-to-earth way. If you’re not sure where to start, individual therapy can be a good first step, and you can also discuss whether couples or family support might help alongside it.
