About Persistence
Persistence Magaya is a counsellor with three years of professional experience who helps people feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected. She works with clients who are facing anxiety, low self-worth, past trauma, or big life changes. She aims to create a calm, approachable space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
Her background includes a BACP credential, which is listed as BACP. She draws on several therapy methods to match the needs of each person.
How Persistence works
That includes attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural ideas, and psychodynamic perspectives to understand feelings and patterns. In sessions she listens for how past relationships shape current reactions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and build small, practical steps to feel more able in daily life.
The work can include reflecting on early experiences, trying new ways of thinking, or practising coping skills between meetings. Magaya pays attention to both emotional wounds and everyday problems. She supports people working through grief, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, compassion fatigue, and changes like separation or shifting life purpose.
Her approach blends practical tools with space to make sense of painful experiences. People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and gentler exploration of their history. She partners with clients to set clear goals and to find ways of coping that fit their life.
Getting started involves a short matching process and arranging sessions that suit the person.

Approaches for online therapy and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns. It is useful for people who notice repeated relationship problems, attachment worries, or struggles with trust and closeness.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful thinking, and build coping skills for day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals and then suggest a way of working together. That choice is collaborative and may change as needs shift during therapy.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets you reflect in writing between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family, or travel while still using recognised therapeutic methods delivered by registered or accredited professionals.
