About Patience

Patience Parker is a counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. She meets people where they are and listens without judgement. Her style is calm and encouraging, helping people feel heard and respected as they talk through worries about stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and other concerns.

She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience at the centre of each session. That means the conversation follows what matters most to the client, and the pace is set by them.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on building understanding, greater self-compassion and clearer ways of relating to others. Patience has four years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom.

Work often covers issues such as low self-esteem, depression, addictions, family problems and trauma and abuse. Additional areas Patience addresses include attachment worries, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and difficulties around communication and commitment. She also supports people facing divorce or separation, fertility concerns, guilt and shame, and struggles with emptiness.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Conversations aim to make daily life feel more manageable and to increase confidence in relationships. People who choose to work with her begin with a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Ways of working Patience names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred care offered online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the person find their own solutions and meaning. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship problems, grief and trauma where understanding and self-acceptance are important.

The therapist will work collaboratively to find the right approach for each person. That means Patience will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the pace and focus accordingly. Deciding together helps make sure the work meets the person's needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write, want shorter daily support, or need a way to fit sessions around a busy schedule. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions and to access support from different locations.
