About Patience
Patience Destiny offers a calm, straightforward place to start when life feels overwhelming. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, body image and eating concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and career or parenting strain. Her approach is patient and respectful, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable.
With 13 years of experience and BACP registration, Patience combines a few different therapy methods to suit each person. She keeps sessions warm and interactive, listening first to what matters most to the client. Practical strategies are offered alongside space to think and reflect.
Patience draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people notice thoughts, try new behaviours and make choices that match their values. She also uses client-centred and psychodynamic influences when exploring long-standing patterns and relationships.
Her work includes support for those coping with life changes and compassion fatigue, and she has a focus on issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment, blended family dynamics, cancer, caregiver stress and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She frames these concerns in straightforward terms and helps people break problems into small, practical steps.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and interests. She is curious about clients’ creative life and humour, and will look for ways to weave those strengths into therapy. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching process and then arrange sessions according to availability.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Patience often works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still act in ways that match their values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, grief and making decisions about life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural experiments. CBT is practical and can help with mood, sleep, eating concerns and anxiety. Client-centred ideas shape the therapeutic relationship, giving the person space to be heard and to guide the pace and topics of sessions.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Patience will collaborate with clients to decide which approach or combination feels most useful. She uses questions, exercises and reflection so clients can see what helps and what needs adjusting.
If you are considering online work, check the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt exercises and tools for remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
