About Patience
Patience Destiny offers a calm, down-to-earth approach for people facing worry and life strain. She meets each person where they are and helps them untangle problems in ways that fit daily life. Her style is warm and respectful and she treats people with sensitivity and compassion.
She describes herself as an integrative counsellor and uses a mix of well-known approaches to suit each person. Sessions often involve practical steps, gentle reflection, and noticing patterns that keep problems stuck.
Background and approach
She will draw on cognitive ideas to change unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness to steadiness in the moment, and narrative ways of making more sense of life events. Patience has 13 years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP.
She has worked with a broad range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, eating and food-related concerns, relationship and intimacy matters, and career pressures. She also supports people coping with trauma, addiction, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
Additional areas she focuses on include abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment and family of origin issues, body image, ageing and caregiver stress, and difficulties that follow separation or divorce. She pays attention to identity and LGBT concerns and to the emotional impacts of long-term illness.
Work with Patience begins by talking through what matters to the client and agreeing clear, realistic goals. She aims to make therapy practical and relevant so changes can carry into everyday life.

How Patience works online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear, and offers steady support so the client can find their own solutions. This approach is useful when people need understanding and space to sort things out.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and problems like sleep difficulties or unhelpful eating habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that match the situation, and adapt methods as therapy progresses. This collaborative process helps identify what feels most useful for each person.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce time spent travelling. It can allow shorter check-ins or regular weekly work while juggling family and work commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can guide choices about how best to meet your needs through remote sessions.
