About Patience
Patience Parker is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with young adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, family issues, and trauma and abuse. Patience focuses on helping people find clearer thinking and steadier feelings in everyday life.
She uses a client-centred approach that keeps conversations focused on what matters most to the person in the room. Sessions aim to be straightforward: listening, reflecting, and helping the client notice patterns that cause pain or hold them back. Patience encourages practical steps people can try between sessions when those feel useful.
Many young adults come with pressures around work, study, money, identity and relationships. Patience helps people talk through those pressures without judgement. She also supports clients dealing with bereavement, recovery from addiction, and the after-effects of past abuse.
Her work pays attention to attachment, communication and family of origin issues that often shape how someone copes. She will explore things like perfectionism, guilt, shame and emptiness alongside practical concerns such as chronic illness or caring responsibilities.
Sessions follow what each person brings and move at their pace. Patience asks questions that help people name their feelings and try different ways of responding. If someone is unsure how therapy might fit with study or a new job, she helps negotiate session timing and realistic goals together.
How Patience uses Client-Centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people who feel stuck, anxious or unsure about relationships to name their feelings and think through choices. This way of working puts the client’s experience at the centre and supports clearer decision making.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patience will discuss what feels most useful and adapt sessions based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That means deciding together how to pace sessions and which topics to prioritise, rather than following a fixed plan.
The practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting therapy around work or study, having shorter check-ins when needed, and removing travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often tailor online appointments to suit a client’s daily routine and commitments, and Patience will work with each person to make sessions realistic and manageable.
