About Patience

Patience Destiny is a UK-based integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with 13 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She combines evidence-informed methods with a warm, interactive style to help clients address issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, relationship and family difficulties, eating and body-image concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, career and parenting struggles, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.

Working with both short-term and longer-term clients, she adapts her approach to meet individual needs and preferences. Patience treats each person with sensitivity and respect, recognising that they are the expert on their own lived experience. Her integrative outlook draws on cognitive-behavioural ideas, client-centered skills, mindfulness practices, narrative elements, and acceptance-focused work to create a tailored therapeutic plan.

Patience holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers therapy to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She values curiosity about a person’s creativity, humour, and whole self, and looks for ways to incorporate those aspects into the therapeutic process. Seeking support is framed as an act of self-care and courage, and Patience aims to empower clients as they move toward more fulfilling, balanced lives.

She is currently accepting new clients and works with adults across a broad spectrum of emotional, relational, and life-change concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Patience uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then act in ways that align with their values - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting each person where they are; it supports self-exploration, confidence-building, and relationship or identity concerns. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and Patience approaches this collaboratively. She will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and adapt the plan over time so that the work fits the person rather than fitting the person to a single model.

Online therapy with Patience is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or those living outside her immediate area. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access professional support from a licensed professional regardless of location.
