About Persistence
Persistence Magaya is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people feeling stuck, anxious or unsure about their next steps. She holds a BACP credential and brings three years of practice to sessions. Her work is aimed at people wrestling with low self-worth, anxiety, grief, anger or major life changes.
She also offers support around parenting concerns and compassion fatigue. Her style is warm and straightforward. She creates a calm space where people can talk about what lies beneath day-to-day stress.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding patterns, naming painful feelings and trying small, practical steps that make daily life easier. Magaya uses ideas from attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to spot unhelpful thoughts and change reactions.
Psychodynamic ideas are also used to trace longer-standing patterns that keep repeating. Work with her often blends gentle reflection and practical tools. Conversations might include exploring family dynamics, building coping skills for anxiety, or addressing grief and trauma at a pace that suits the client.
She supports people dealing with relationship problems, communication difficulties, codependency and self-esteem challenges. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. The first step is to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book a time that works with the therapist's schedule.
The subscription can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current responses. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions and supports building more supported ways of relating to others. CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. These methods are useful for managing stress, low self-worth and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and together decide what feels most helpful for the person's goals and preferences. This collaborative process means approaches can be blended and adjusted over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical access to therapy. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for people who prefer writing or want ongoing, brief support between calls. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel.
