Juanita Murphy, BACP

Juanita Murphy is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings three years of professional experience to her practice and focuses on practical support for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

She works with stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and problems tied to addiction. Trauma and abuse are also areas she addresses, along with struggles around self-esteem and motivation. Juanita encourages clients to use their own strengths as a foundation for change.

Her way of working is collaborative and straightforward. She listens to each person’s story and helps them identify small, achievable steps. Sessions tend to focus on coping strategies, clearer thinking, and rebuilding confidence over time.

Juanita also supports people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and process addictions such as problematic porn, exercise or gambling. She can help when self-harm, sex addiction, forgiveness, communication problems or questions about life purpose are part of the picture.

She practises in the United Kingdom and carries the BACP credential. Conversations are in English. To begin, people normally use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based methods translate online

Many counsellors use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people make changes in day-to-day life. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practising different responses to reduce worry and low mood; this can help with stress, anxiety and panic. Another approach emphasises building practical coping skills and routines to manage addictive behaviours and improve motivation and self-esteem.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and they will try methods that fit the client’s needs. Decisions about what to try are made collaboratively and reviewed as therapy progresses.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue regular work on emotions and behaviours from home or between other commitments, while the counsellor and client decide together what works best.
