About Patience
Patience Parker is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or low. She focuses on building a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She listens without judgement and helps people notice small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her work is client-centred, so sessions follow what the person brings. Conversations focus on feelings, thoughts and the practical things that get in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
She helps people untangle grief, addiction-related worries, family problems and issues with self-esteem. Patience uses straightforward language and gentle prompts to help people reflect and find their own solutions. She pays attention to attachment worries, body image concerns and caregiver stress, and she will pace work according to each person’s needs.
Sessions can also cover chronic illness or pain, fertility worries and guilt or shame. Patience is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of experience working with adults across a range of life stresses.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she accepts international clients who prefer English sessions. In the first meetings she aims to understand what matters most to the client and to agree on practical goals. People can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work and family life.
She encourages small, steady steps rather than quick fixes.

Online support
In practice that means early sessions focus on building trust and clarity about what you want to change. The therapist and client work together to decide pace and focus, and that collaboration can shift as needs evolve. Patience will check in regularly and adapt the work to fit your goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are good when you want face-to-face contact and visual cues. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit into a break from work. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins and people who prefer to write rather than talk. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives while keeping the same client-centred approach.
