Judy Khoury , BACP

Judy Khoury is a counsellor with seven years of practice in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue, and people navigating LGBT concerns. She speaks English and Arabic and can work with international clients.

Judy approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She adapts the way she talks and plans sessions to fit each person's situation. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on real-life concerns rather than jargon or long lectures.

Her work covers a wide range of issues including attachment and abandonment worries, adoption and foster care questions, body image and eating difficulties, and the stress that comes with caregiving or cancer. She also helps people address codependency, communication breakdowns, control and commitment issues, and problems linked to substance use or domestic violence.

Judy holds BACP registration, which indicates her professional connection within the UK counselling community. Over seven years she has combined one-to-one support with a straightforward, person-centred style that places the client's goals first.

Conversations with Judy usually begin by identifying immediate concerns and practical steps. From there she and the client shape the longer-term plan together, adjusting as needs change. Her aim is to support people as they take the difficult first steps toward feeling steadier and more able to manage day-to-day life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Many clients find straightforward, evidence-based techniques helpful for stress, anxiety and trauma. Cognitive-style techniques focus on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and practising new ways of responding, which can reduce worry and low mood. Behavioural strategies involve setting simple, manageable tasks and routines to rebuild confidence and cope with change. These methods are often useful for grief, depression and relationship difficulties because they link small actions to clearer emotional relief.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Judy works with each person to identify their goals, preferences and what feels most useful in early sessions. She will adjust methods over time so the plan stays relevant to your needs and circumstances.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or want flexible, paced contact. These options give practical flexibility while still allowing focused, goal-oriented work with a registered professional.
