About Patience
Patience Destiny is a counsellor with a focus on men’s wellbeing among other concerns. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She also supports those dealing with grief, eating and body image issues, and career or life transitions. Her tone is warm and respectful and she aims to make it easier to bring up difficult topics.
Patience uses a mix of approaches and adapts them to each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client-Centred and Narrative methods to shape sessions around a person's needs. Conversations are collaborative and practical, with time spent noticing patterns and trying small changes.
Her background includes long experience in counselling and psychotherapy and she is a BACP member. That combination informs a style that is interactive and attentive to the whole person. She pays attention to life context, culture and identity when those matter to the presenting issues.
Work in sessions can include talking through emotions, noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying short experiments between meetings, and using mindfulness to manage stress. Patience makes space for creativity and humour where helpful, and encourages clients to bring their own strengths into therapy.
She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on the therapist’s scheduling process. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How approaches like ACT, CBT and client-centred work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and for moving through life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioural changes. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by breaking cycles that keep difficulties going.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist offers non-judgemental listening and reflects what’s said so clients feel understood and can find their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patience will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. The choice of approach is collaborative and may be adjusted as therapy unfolds.
The practical advantages of online therapy make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between meetings, and make scheduling around work or family easier.
