About Persistence

Persistence Magaya is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people feel less stuck and more themselves. She holds BACP registration, and she brings three years of practice to work with people facing anxiety, low self-worth, grief, trauma or major life changes.

Her style aims to be warm and straightforward so people can talk openly about what matters to them. Magaya creates a calm space to look beneath immediate problems.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding where patterns come from. She uses a mix of approaches and tailors the work to each person rather than applying one fixed method. Clients can expect a gentle but honest way of talking through issues.

That may include looking at past relationships and attachment patterns, noticing unhelpful thoughts or behaviours, and working on clearer communication and self-care. The aim is to increase confidence and reduce distress in everyday life. She has particular experience with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and the aftermath of abuse.

Magaya also supports people dealing with life purpose struggles, midlife shifts, and problems like body image, codependency and control issues. Therapy sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can choose the format that fits their routine. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with her and book sessions that suit them.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and to rebuild trust and connection over time. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring themes and emotional patterns that come from past experiences and helps bring these into awareness so they no longer run things automatically.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses what feels most useful and adapts methods to each person's history and goals. This collaborative planning means sessions can shift between understanding past patterns and doing practical exercises as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people meet face to face when useful, phone sessions can work when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue, live chat can suit a short check-in, and text messaging is helpful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and daily life while still following a clear therapeutic plan with a registered professional.
