About Persistence
Persistence Magaya is a BACP counsellor who helps people feeling stuck, unsure or disconnected. She supports those facing low self-worth, anxiety, unresolved trauma and major life changes. Her work is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward.
Magaya offers a warm, compassionate space for people to talk through what lies beneath surface problems. She listens for patterns in relationships and behaviour, then helps identify small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life steps as well as looking at the past when that helps make sense of the present. Her practice draws on several evidence‑based models, including psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural ideas. She blends these approaches to match each person's needs rather than using a single fixed method.
That makes the work flexible and tailored to the individual. Common themes she addresses include anxiety, depression, stress, grief and the fallout from trauma or abuse. She also supports people struggling with self-esteem, relationship and parenting pressures, midlife questions and issues around trust and commitment.
People who do best with her tend to want a thoughtful, steady counsellor who balances listening with practical tools. Sessions include talking, reflecting and testing new ways of coping. The aim is clearer understanding and more confidence in moving forward.

Approaches Persistence lists

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Online CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioural experiments and using practical tools to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Psychodynamic ideas help uncover recurring life themes that influence current choices. In an online setting this can bring new clarity about past hurts, patterns in relationships and long-standing emotional blocks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods match the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may shift over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try different formats until the right fit is found.
