Background and approach

She has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a calm, person-focused way of working rather than a one-size-fits-all method. The work is paced to match each person's needs.

Common concerns she helps people talk through include anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and trauma and abuse. Other areas she can address include attachment struggles, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, and issues around commitment or separation. Sessions are offered to people in the United Kingdom and internationally in English.

Patience aims to create a safe space to explore difficult feelings, build coping skills, and develop more positive ways of relating to oneself and others.

How client-centred care translates to online sessions

Patience works from a client-centred framework, which means sessions focus on the person and their priorities. In practice this looks like the counsellor listening closely, reflecting back what is said, and letting the client guide the pace and topics. This approach is helpful for anxiety, stress, relationship worries, grief, and issues around self-esteem.

Client-Centred Therapy aims to create understanding through empathy and non-judgemental listening. It supports people to explore feelings and to make changes from their own insights rather than through directive techniques. That gentle, person-led stance can be useful when navigating uncertainty or strong emotions.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Patience will collaborate with each person to decide whether video, phone, live chat, or text messaging fits best for their needs and goals. She adjusts session length and style to match preferences and practical constraints.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls suit a full face-to-face style, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is lower, and messaging or live chat allow brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or mobility issues while still getting steady therapeutic support.
