About Patience
Patience Destiny helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life. She is Patience Destiny, a BACP-registered counsellor with 13 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She speaks English and works with people from many places, including international clients.
Her sessions are warm and down-to-earth. She listens first and helps people put words to what matters most. Conversations are practical and paced to suit each person, whether someone needs short-term coaching or longer therapy.
Background and approach
Patience uses several recognised approaches to respond to different needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to try small changes in thinking and behaviour.
Client-Centred and narrative ways of working help people feel heard and make sense of their stories. She often helps with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and changes in life such as career shifts or separation. Other areas she supports include eating and body image issues, addictions, trauma and problems with intimacy.
Patience also works with concerns linked to family of origin, adoption and caregiver stress. Sessions are held online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Costs vary by region and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

Online support
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try behaviour changes that can make daily life easier. CBT works well for mood, sleep and anxiety problems because it breaks challenges into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, review what has or has not helped before, and suggest methods that match your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as you make progress.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their routine. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone calls can suit low bandwidth or a quicker check-in, and chat or messaging can help when shorter, written exchanges are easier to fit into a day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving or travel.
