More about Patience
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I’m an Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist licensed in the UK (working with clients all over the world), with over 13 years of experience.
I work with clients in short/long-term therapy,
dealing with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief/loss/bereavement, identity issues, cultural issues, unhealthy food-relationships, disordered-eating, emotional distress, career challenges, long-term illness (the patient and/or their family/carers/loved ones), general ennui & mental health wellbeing.
My therapy style is warm and interactive in a safe & supportive setting. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach is Integrative - combining several modalities to meet your therapeutic needs - cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic therapy, etc. I’m curios about your creative interests, humour, whole self & will find ways to incorporate them into your therapeutic journey/experience.
Each client is unique & the expert on their lived experiences - I tailor our dialogue /sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
You don’t need to be in crisis to seek mental health support - it’s part of your ongoing mental health wellness & self-care. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling, healthier, fuller, happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Patience has been very helpful. She was understanding of how I felt and was graceful with how she responded to my situation. I will always recommend her.
Patience is a great listener, Patience is very good at taking my negative and gently challenging it, to turn it into something more positive. She seems to bring out my inner thoughts which I have never done with a therapist before. It is not easy but Patience is there with you to help you. I would recommend her everyday and twice on Sundays as the saying goes!
Patience has helped me greatly with my process . I have felt safe and held and able to let down many masks and most importantly be with some childhood pain and patterns that held me back. I am grateful I found her ❤
I really appreciate and enjoy Patience Destinys’ expertise and kind character.
