About Patience
Patience Destiny is a counsellor with 13 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma. She works with adults on issues such as eating and body image, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, career changes and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment or family of origin matters and responses to natural or human-caused disasters. Her sessions are conversational and respectful. She listens first and then helps people clarify what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions can be short term or longer work depending on the person’s goals and situation. Patience uses a mix of approaches to meet practical needs. She might draw on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She also uses client-centred work to follow the person’s lead and mindfulness to help people manage overwhelm. Trauma-focused methods are part of her toolkit when past harm shapes current life. She pays attention to safety and pacing, and helps people build skills they can use day to day.
Therapy also makes space for grief, identity and cultural issues when these are important to the person. Patience is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She sees people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
Sessions are offered in English and come in a range of online formats to suit different needs.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Patience often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT focuses on moving toward what matters, even when feelings are uncomfortable.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot patterns in thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT work often involves practical, step-by-step strategies people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patience discusses different options and co-designs a plan based on the person’s goals, life situation and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers a flexible way to do this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day and are helpful when a video link is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer shorter check-ins, written reflection or more frequent, brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on practical change and coping skills.
