About Patience
Patience Destiny is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, eating and food-related issues, low self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, career questions and coping with life changes. Sessions may also cover compassion fatigue, parenting strains and other practical pressures that leave people feeling stuck.
Her approach combines several therapies rather than following a single model. She often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at patterns of thinking and action. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness tools are used to help people notice what matters to them and to build steady day-to-day habits.
Patience also draws on Client-Centred and Narrative ideas to listen for personal meaning and the stories that shape someone's life. In practice this means reflective conversation, gentle challenge and practical exercises to try between sessions. She pays attention to life events such as loss, adoption or caregiving pressures when they influence current struggles.
Sessions are offered in English and Patience works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. She supports both short and longer term work depending on what someone needs. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, prospective clients follow the online matching steps, complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. That initial meeting is used to agree goals and a way of working that fits the person's life and commitments.
How Patience uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to identify what matters to them and take small committed steps in that direction; it can help when choices feel unclear or values and actions are out of sync. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and offers straightforward exercises to change unhelpful cycles, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions and make sense of difficult experiences.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Patience will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences and everyday life. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions include greater flexibility to fit appointments around work, caregiving or medical commitments and the option to choose quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking.
