About us
Penny is an ICF-PCC Parenting Coach, Facilitator, Supervisor and Founder of The Parent Village a charity that works with parents to support their children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
The Parent Village is here for you and will help you navigate your journey through parenthood in a way that builds on your own experiences, your values and culture allowing you to learn from evidence based strategies and form firm connections and friendships so you feel a little less alone and a little more equipped. Penny has been coaching and working with parents for over 10 years and works 1:1 and with groups.
Penny has a love of running and competes in trail events and the Kent Fitness League cross country season, and is really enjoying being a parent of two entertaining teenagers.
