Patience Destiny, BACP

Patience Destiny is a BACP-registered integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience working with clients in the UK and internationally. She offers both short- and long-term therapy for a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief and bereavement, eating and body image struggles, trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting and career challenges, and issues related to identity and intimacy. Patience also works with people facing life transitions, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, and the emotional impact of illness or loss.

Her practice is warm, interactive, and focused on treating each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Adopting an integrative approach, she draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive-behavioral and humanistic techniques, as well as psychodynamic and narrative ideas when appropriate, tailoring the mix to each client’s needs. She is attentive to creative interests, humour, and the whole person, and looks for ways to incorporate these strengths into therapy.

Patience sees each client as the expert on their own life and collaborates to shape conversations and treatment plans that reflect the client’s goals and lived experience. She encourages people to seek support as part of ongoing self-care and personal growth, and is ready to support and empower those taking the first steps toward change.
