About Patience

Patience Destiny helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, eating and self‑esteem challenges. She offers counselling and psychotherapy in short or longer term work for a wide range of life and relationship concerns. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has 13 years of experience.

She uses an integrative approach that draws on several methods to suit each person’s needs. Sessions can involve talking through recent events, identifying patterns that cause distress, and practising new ways of coping. She pays attention to personal history and current difficulties in equal measure.

Patience works with issues such as addiction, intimacy problems, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career questions and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment and family of origin issues, and body image or eating and food‑related concerns.

Her clinical work includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client‑Centered Therapy, Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy. These approaches can be used to tackle thoughts and behaviours, build values‑based goals, and explore personal stories that shape how someone feels.

Costs vary with location and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Patience frames therapy as practical psychological work. She aims to help people find clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more manageable day to day routines through regular sessions and agreed goals.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps towards them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings; it can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses specific techniques to change unhelpful cycles, which is useful for stress, sleeping problems and low mood. Client‑Centered Therapy emphasises the person’s own experience and supports clearer self‑understanding through reflective conversation and active listening.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use. That choice can change as therapy progresses and is responsive to how someone gets on in sessions.

Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list explicit options. Online work can help fit counselling around daily life, such as making sessions easier to schedule around work or carer tasks, or reducing travel time. It can also allow for shorter check‑ins when time is limited, or for audio‑only contact if video is difficult. Registered and accredited professionals often use online sessions to make therapy more accessible while focusing on practical steps and regular reviews of progress.
