Persistence Magaya, BACP

Persistence Magaya is a BACP-registered integrative psychotherapist who works with people feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure about their next steps. She supports individuals grappling with low self-worth, anxiety, unresolved trauma, and major life transitions, offering a steady, compassionate presence for those who feel lost or overwhelmed.

Her practice provides a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore what lies beneath current difficulties. Magaya draws on an integrative blend of approaches - including psychodynamic work, person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural techniques, and attachment-based methods - to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. This flexible way of working means she and the client collaborate to identify the methods that fit best for the issues at hand.

At the centre of her work is respect for each person’s story and resilience. She is particularly committed to helping people manage anxiety, rebuild confidence, process past wounds, and reconnect with a more authentic sense of self. Persistence Magaya aims to walk alongside clients as they explore change, heal from difficult experiences, and find clearer direction in life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Persistence Magaya uses several well-established methods that adapt effectively to remote work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds - it helps people understand how attachment styles shape current difficulties in intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours by learning practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. Psychodynamic Therapy explores unconscious patterns and past experiences to bring insight into recurring difficulties and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Magaya works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to prioritise and adapt over time. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home, and access support during life transitions or busy periods, while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor the work to each individual's circumstances.
