Patience Destiny offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She writes short, plain explanations and listens for what matters most to each person. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and easy to follow for busy lives.

Patience has 13 years of experience and holds BACP registration with practice in the United Kingdom and work with international clients. She helps people with low mood, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and body image issues, addictions and career stress.

Background and approach

She also supports those facing caregiver strain, bereavement and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and create small, manageable changes.

Mindfulness-based ideas are used to help ground people who feel worried or overwhelmed. Patience also draws on client-centred and narrative approaches to make space for each person’s story. She encourages people to name their values and to try actions that match those values.

Practical coaching elements are offered when people want clear steps and accountability. People can book video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit their routine. Therapy is provided by subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small steps that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviours through practical exercises and homework tasks. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy creates a respectful space where the person leads the pace and topics of conversation, which can help people feel heard and develop self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patience will listen to the person’s goals and preferences, then suggest methods that seem most helpful. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes therapy fit around work, caregiving or travel. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give practical flexibility while keeping the focus on the person’s needs and progress.
