Persistence Magaya is a counsellor who helps people feel less stuck and more like themselves. She works with people dealing with low self-worth, anxiety, trauma, and big life changes. Persistence holds a BACP credential, which is listed as BACP, and brings three years of experience to her practice.

She creates a calm, compassionate space where people can talk through what’s under the surface. Sessions focus on understanding patterns and learning practical ways to cope.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and straightforward, with attention to each person’s pace and needs. Persistence uses a mix of approaches to meet different problems. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections.

She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of behaving. Psychodynamic work is used to notice repeating patterns and hidden feelings. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, and recovery from abuse.

She also helps with issues such as body image, codependency, commitment worries, and communication problems. Sessions are available in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Attachment, CBT and Psychodynamic Work Online

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current connections and patterns in close relationships. Online sessions can help people notice attachment responses and practise new ways of relating to others.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. It suits people dealing with anxiety, low mood or stress who want practical strategies to try between sessions.

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to repeating patterns and hidden feelings that influence day-to-day life. Online conversations can make it easier to reflect on those patterns without travelling to appointments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the person’s goals, history and preferences. That decision is made together, and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like fitting sessions around work or family, using phone calls when bandwidth is limited, or choosing text-based messaging for short check-ins. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, while live chat and messaging give flexible ways to keep in touch between appointments. Many people find this range of formats makes it easier to maintain steady progress.
