Patience Destiny, BACP

Patience Destiny helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She is a counsellor with the BACP credential and she speaks English. People come to her for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, eating concerns and career stress among other issues.

Patience uses a warm, interactive style and treats people with respect and sensitivity. She sees each person as the expert on their life and adapts sessions to suit individual needs and goals. Her approach blends several well-known therapies rather than relying on a single method.

With 13 years of experience, Patience supports both short-term and longer-term work. She pays attention to practical problems like sleep, parenting pressure and work-related burnout, as well as deeper issues such as attachment, family of origin and trauma. She also addresses identity and LGBT concerns and challenges linked to adoption, ageing and caregiving.

In sessions she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness, narrative techniques and client-centred listening. That mix lets her offer direct coping strategies alongside reflective conversation about life patterns and meaning.

People who want a thoughtful, flexible counsellor may find her style helpful. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability. The cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting led by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes where values and direction matter.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns with practical exercises and short-term strategies. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleeping problems and eating-related concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgment and follows the client's pace, which suits people who want a supportive space to talk things through.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods to use based on the client's goals, preferences and what emerges in early sessions. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and new issues come up.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing flexible scheduling. To confirm which session formats are offered for this counsellor, check the booking details before you start. Many people find that remote sessions support continuity of care and let them use quieter times in their day for therapy rather than rearranging other commitments.
