About Patience
Patience Parker is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood or relationship strain. She uses a warm, non-judgemental style and focuses on helping clients feel heard and understood. Patience works with adults concerned about grief, self-esteem, addiction, trauma and family issues, alongside related challenges such as body image and caregiver stress.
Patience offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or messaging to suit different needs and schedules.
Background and approach
She holds BACP, which is recorded here as a professional credential. She has four years' experience supporting people through emotional difficulties and life transitions. Her approach is based on Client-Centred Therapy, which means conversations are led by what matters most to the person in the room.
The therapist reflects and responds rather than directing a fixed plan, helping people name feelings and consider new ways of relating to themselves and others. Typical concerns Patience helps with include anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, addictions, and the emotional impact of illness or fertility difficulties.
She also supports people working through attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and the stress of caregiving. People who choose Patience can expect a collaborative process. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters, and finding small practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable.
She encourages clients to set the pace and goals that suit them.
Client-centred care delivered online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor reflects back what someone says and helps them explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach suits people dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship strain and low self-esteem because it builds a trusting, non-judgemental space to think things through.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will collaborate with the client to decide how best to proceed. That means adapting the style and pace to what feels most helpful for each person rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins and messaging lets people write between sessions. These formats increase flexibility and can help maintain continuity of care across locations.
