Persistence Magaya, BACP

Persistence Magaya is a counsellor with three years of clinical experience who helps people feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected. She works with people who struggle with anxiety, low self-worth, unresolved trauma, and major life changes. Persistence offers a calm, compassionate presence and practical ways to move forward.

She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. That can include exploring how early relationships affect current patterns, addressing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and looking at deeper emotional themes that repeat over time. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps as well as understanding the bigger story.

People often come for help with relationships, family strain, parenting pressures, grief, anger, and stress. She also supports those dealing with body image, codependency, commitment worries, and life direction concerns. Work can include coping strategies, rebuilding self-esteem, and processing painful memories.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Persistence draws on the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation when describing her professional standing as BACP.

Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative. She aims to make therapy feel simple and useful, so people leave with clearer choices and practical skills. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions through the site's scheduling process.

Online approaches that connect understanding with practical steps

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling. It helps when patterns from childhood affect trust, closeness, or how someone copes with stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing intense feelings with clear exercises and techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and help decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, and other commitments while keeping contact consistent and flexible.
