About Patience
Patience Destiny is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She works with issues around eating and body image, addiction, self-esteem and career worries. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and family of origin difficulties.
Her style is warm and interactive and she aims to make sessions feel straightforward and practical. Conversations are tailored to each person and their life. She pays attention to humour, creative interests and everyday strengths when that feels helpful.
Patience draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take workable steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are offered for managing thoughts and behaviours that cause distress.
Client-Centred and Narrative ideas shape how stories and experiences are heard, while mindfulness practices are used to calm the body and focus attention. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s knowledge of their life guides the work.
Patience has been practising for 13 years and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions follow a structure agreed with each person and are adjusted as needs evolve.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then to schedule according to the available times.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Patience commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people identify what matters to them and take small, practical steps towards those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions because it focuses on action rather than simply reducing symptoms.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and to try different ways of responding. CBT tends to be practical and goal oriented, which can suit people wanting concrete tools to manage anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities, then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative decision and plans are adjusted over time to fit what is helpful.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same kinds of therapeutic conversations and practical tools online as they do in person, while working with each person to choose a pace and style that fits their situation.
