About Persistence

Persistence Magaya is a BACP counsellor who helps people feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of their direction. She focuses on low self-worth, anxiety, unresolved trauma and major life changes. Her manner is calm and down-to-earth, aimed at making hard conversations easier to start.

She offers a warm space to talk through what lies beneath surface problems. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. She uses straightforward language and practical steps alongside deeper conversation about history and feeling.

Background and approach

Magaya mixes approaches rather than relying on one method. She brings elements of attachment work, cognitive behavioural techniques, and psychodynamic ideas into sessions. That makes it possible to address present-day patterns, unhelpful thoughts and the influence of past relationships all together.

Typical work includes building coping strategies for anxiety, exploring sources of low self-esteem, and processing difficult experiences like trauma and grief. She also helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, or career and life transitions. The focus is on clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses.

Sessions can include short practical exercises, talking through memories or patterns, and planning small changes to test in daily life. Progress is reviewed as therapy continues so approaches can shift if needed. Magaya aims to help people reconnect with their values and move forward with more confidence.

Online support

Attachment-based work looks at patterns of relating and how early bonds shape current connections. Online sessions can help people notice relationship habits and try new ways of relating to others and themselves. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It suits people who want practical tools they can use between sessions. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences influence present feelings and choices, helping people understand deeper patterns that repeat over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adapt methods as therapy unfolds. That collaborative process helps decide whether more practical techniques or deeper exploration will be most helpful at any stage.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be handy when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, journalling between sessions, or for people who find typing easier than speaking. Together these options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
