About Patience
Patience Parker is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, family concerns, and trauma and abuse. She also helps with issues such as attachment, body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
Patience aims to listen and respond without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on using session time in ways the client finds most helpful. Conversations are intended to build clearer thinking about difficult feelings and to increase confidence in relationships with others.
Her main approach is client-centred therapy. That means sessions revolve around the client's experience, with the counsellor following the client's lead and reflecting what comes up. This approach is often used for emotional issues, relationship concerns, grief, and questions about self-worth.
In a typical meeting Patience pays attention to the person's priorities and feelings, and helps them talk through painful memories or ongoing difficulties. She encourages clients to notice patterns in relationships and in how they respond to stress. Work can include looking at past family influences, forgiving oneself where possible, and finding practical ways to cope with day-to-day pressures.
Patience accepts people who live outside the UK and offers sessions in English. If someone wishes to begin they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online booking flow.
