About Patience
Patience Destiny is a counsellor with 13 years of experience who helps people facing low mood, stress and life changes. She works with people worried about anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. Her manner is warm and respectful and she aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.
Patience uses an integrative approach, drawing on a mix of therapies to suit each person. She listens first and then suggests ways to move forward that fit the individual's life and goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical, with room for creativity and humour where that feels right. She supports people with eating and body image concerns, addiction, intimacy issues, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric issues, and family of origin matters.
She also helps with career challenges and coping with illness. Patience blends techniques from cognitive behavioural work, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, narrative work and client-centred listening. That mix lets her offer practical tools alongside time to reflect on patterns and personal meaning.
Sessions are available for people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Conversations are tailored to what each person needs, whether they want short-term help for a specific issue or longer support while navigating a big life change.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Patience will discuss options with each person and together they decide what to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods over time to match changing needs and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or those who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to keep continuity when life changes.
