About Patience
Patience Destiny is a counsellor with 13 years of experience working with people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She offers calm, straightforward support for everyday struggles. Her approach is warm and respectful and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
Patience draws on a mix of therapeutic methods to match each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without being controlled by them.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is offered to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes. Client-Centred and Narrative approaches are used to hear each person's story and build a sense of meaning. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Patience likes to explore what matters to a person and then try simple exercises or actions that fit their life. She pays attention to identity, grief, eating and body image concerns, relationships, career stress and coping with life changes. She also works with people facing addictions, compassion fatigue, sleep problems and parenting strain.
Additional focus areas include attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and challenges that arise from illness or bereavement. Patience is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She sees people across the United Kingdom and internationally, and conducts sessions in English using video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to availability. She emphasises a collaborative process and adjusts the work as needs change.
Approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while finding steps that match their values. It is useful when anxiety, avoidance or low mood stop someone doing things that matter to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognising unhelpful thinking and testing small changes in behaviour. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood by giving simple, practical tools to try between sessions.
Client-Centred work offers a respectful, listening-based space where the person leads the conversation. This approach supports identity issues, grief and the personal meaning behind difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Patience will discuss options and try methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as progress is made and checks in about what helps.
Online therapy with Patience is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions suit people who prefer less screen time or have lower bandwidth. Chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, ongoing support and times when writing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to slot into a busy life.
