About Patience

Patience Parker is a counsellor who aims to help people feel steadier and more able to face daily challenges. She listens without judgement and offers a calm space where clients can talk about stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and grief. Patience works to build trust so people can explore what feels most difficult and begin to find ways forward.

Patience uses a client-centred approach. That means conversations focus on the person in front of her rather than on a set technique.

Background and approach

She gives gentle encouragement and reflects back what she hears so clients can better understand their thoughts and feelings. This style suits worries about self‑esteem, attachment issues, body image and patterns in close relationships. She also supports people facing addiction, chronic illness or caregiver strain.

Practical topics such as communication problems, commitment anxiety, separation and family of origin difficulties are discussed in straightforward terms. Patience pays attention to the emotional impact of fertility concerns, guilt, shame and forgiveness as part of everyday life. Patience has four years' experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients may be seen depending on circumstances. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Costs vary with location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Ways of working Patience names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How client-centred work translates online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and experience. In practice the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and offers acceptance so clients can explore their feelings. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood, self‑esteem and relationship patterns.

Online sessions use the same collaborative spirit. The therapist will work with the client to choose ways of working that fit their goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on feelings, practical coping strategies or relationship habits, and the plan can change as needs evolve.

Using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for people who prefer writing or who need support between longer sessions. These options help people access therapy from different places and at varied times while keeping the focus on what they want to work on.
