About Digna
Digna Patel is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and parenting strains. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related concerns.
Digna uses a mix of talking approaches rather than a single method. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings. She also uses Attachment-Based and psychodynamic ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships.
Sessions focus on practical conversation and simple steps you can try between meetings. Digna pays attention to communication problems, commitment worries, and issues that affect daily family interactions. She also works with people facing fertility, divorce or separation, and caregiver stress.
Her way of working is straightforward. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients try clearer ways of thinking and behaving. You can expect discussions about goals, small experiments to test out new habits, and review of what helps you feel more in control.
Therapy is handled in English. If you are thinking about parenting pressures or a difficult family relationship, she aims to help you find clearer steps and better coping strategies. To begin, follow the site guidance to view online therapy options and book a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that matter to you. It can help with worry, anxiety and the stress of parenting roles by focusing on values and committed steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. It suits specific worries and short-term changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how past relationship patterns shape current interactions and can help when family dynamics or intimacy concerns are causing strain.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your situation, goals and preferences and together you will choose what to try first. That collaborative choice can be reviewed as you go, so methods adjust if something is not helpful.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions useful for keeping therapy practical and easier to schedule alongside parenting and work commitments.
