About Patience
Patience Destiny is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She offers one-to-one support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and many other life challenges. Her manner is warm and respectful and she aims to help people feel heard and understood.
Her approach mixes well-known therapies so sessions are practical and tailored. She listens first, then helps clients pick ways to work on thoughts, feelings and everyday habits.
Background and approach
Conversations can include looking at personal stories, learning different skills, or practising mindful attention to reduce distress. Patience uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred and narrative ideas. This means she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, consider new choices, and build actions that match their values.
Mindfulness methods are used to slow things down and improve awareness. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including eating and food-related issues, relationship and intimacy matters, career stress, parenting strain, addictions, trauma and emotional pain. Additional focus areas listed include adoption and foster care, attachment and family of origin issues, body image and coping with illness.
Sessions are available to people in the UK and internationally. Patience offers different formats so people can find what fits their day-to-day life. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then book according to the therapist's schedule.

How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose small actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising simple changes to reduce distress and improve daily coping. Client-Centred Therapy offers a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person is treated as the expert on their experience and the counsellor follows their lead.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patience will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to use. That collaborative process helps shape session pace, tasks between sessions and what to focus on in future meetings.
Online sessions provide practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, reflective writing and when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while keeping continuity of care across locations.
