About Patience
Patience Destiny is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, eating and self-esteem concerns, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and family questions, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career shifts and depression.
Her sessions aim to be practical and focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred and Mindfulness approaches, and Narrative methods. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviours and make steady changes that fit daily life.
Patience offers short or longer-term work depending on the issue. Conversations are straightforward; she asks what matters to the person and helps set small, achievable goals. She uses exercises, thought records and simple mindfulness practices when helpful.
She also explores personal stories and values to clarify where patterns started and which changes matter most now. This can help with persistent worries, eating and body image concerns, or trouble with intimacy and communication.
Sessions include practical planning between meetings so progress continues outside the room. People who want a direct, structured approach that still pays attention to personal history often find this useful. For international clients and English speakers she offers remote arrangements; confirm current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches used online and what they do
Patience commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses to reduce distress and change everyday habits. ACT emphasises values and committed action, helping people choose small steps that match what matters to them.She also draws on client-centred listening to ensure the person feels heard, and narrative techniques to map personal stories that can explain repeating patterns. Together these approaches give a mix of structured exercises and attention to life history. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which approach fits the client’s goals and preferences, reviewing progress and adjusting methods as needed.
The profile indicates she sees international clients remotely, so confirm the exact session formats before booking. Remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel for appointments. The emphasis is on practical arrangements that suit day-to-day life while using CBT and ACT tools adapted for online sessions.
